Except in compliance with the provisions of this Xxxxxxx 0, xxxx of the Founders or Restricted Shareholders may sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of in any way, all or any part of any interest in the Shares now or hereafter owned or held by such holder. Any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance or disposition of Common Shares or Preferred Shares not made in conformance with this Agreement shall be null and void, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company and shall not be recognized by the Company. |
2.2 | Restriction on Transfer of Shares by Founders. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, except in compliance with Section 2.6 and other than the sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance or disposition of Shares held by any of the Founders which cumulatively and in aggregate amount to no more than two percent (2%) of the total number of equity securities of the Company on a fully-diluted basis, each of the Founders undertakes to each holder of Series F-1 Preferred Shares that from the Series F-1 First Closing Date until the date on which the Qualified IPO is consummated (both dates inclusive), it shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of in any way, all or any part of any interest in the Shares now or hereafter owned or held by it, except with the prior written consent of Majority Preferred F Holders. Any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance or disposition of Shares not made in conformance with this Section 2.2 shall be null and void, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company and shall not be recognized by the Company. The Founders agree that the transfer restrictions in this Agreement shall not be capable of being avoided by the holding of Shares indirectly through itself, a company or other entity that can itself be sold in order to dispose of an interest in Shares free of such restrictions.

16
2.3 | Rights of First Refusal. |
(a) | Transfer Notice. If at any time a Restricted Shareholder proposes to transfer all or a portion of the Shares held by such Restricted Shareholder (each such Restricted Shareholder, a “Transferor”) to one or more third parties (each, a “Transferee”) pursuant to an understanding with such Transferee(s) (a “Transfer”), the Transferor shall give each of the holders of Preferred Shares (each, a “Preferred Shareholder”) and the Company written notice of the Transferor’s intention to make the Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”), which Transfer Notice shall include (i) a description of the Shares to be transferred (“Offered Shares”), (ii) the identity of the Transferees and (iii) the consideration and the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Transferor has received a firm offer from the Transferee(s) and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed Transfer. |
(b) | Option of Preferred Shareholders. |
(i) | Each Preferred Shareholder shall have an option for a period of thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Transfer Notice by such Preferred Shareholder (or, if Section 2.3(c) applies, until the fifth (5th) Business Day after such valuation shall have been made pursuant to Section 2.3(c), if longer) to elect to purchase up to its respective pro rata share of the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. |
17
(ii) | Each Preferred Shareholder may exercise such purchase option and, thereby, purchase all or any portion of its pro rata share of the Offered Shares, by notifying the Transferor and the Company in writing, before expiration of the applicable period described in Section 2.3(b)(i) as to the number of such Shares which it wishes to purchase (including any re-allotment). For the purposes of this Section 2.3(b)(ii), each Preferred Shareholder’s pro rata share of the Offered Shares shall be a fraction of the Offered Shares, of which the number of Class A Common Shares into which the Preferred Shares owned by such Preferred Shareholder are convertible on the date of the Transfer Notice shall be the numerator and the total number of Class A Common Shares into which the Preferred Shares held by all Preferred Shareholders are convertible on the date of the Transfer Notice shall be the denominator. |
(iii) | Each Preferred Shareholder which exercises its right of first refusal under Section 2.3(b)(ii) (an “Exercising Shareholder”) shall have a right of re-allotment such that, if any Preferred Shareholder fails to exercise the right to purchase its full pro rata share of the Offered Shares, the Exercising Shareholder may exercise an additional right to purchase up to its respective pro rata share of such un-purchased Offered Shares by notifying the Transferor and the Company in writing within ten (10) days from receipt by such Exercising Shareholder of a further notice, which notice shall be delivered by the Transferor to each Exercising Shareholder and the Company within five (5) days after the expiration of the applicable period described in Section 2.3(b)(i) setting forth the number of unpurchased Offered Shares and the number of Offered Shares purchased by all Exercising Shareholders under Section 2.3(b)(ii). For purposes of this Section 2.3(b)(iii), each Exercising Shareholder’s pro rata share of the un-purchased Offered Shares shall be a fraction of the un-purchased Offered Shares, of which the aggregate of the number of Class A Common Shares comprising the Offered Shares and into which the Offered Shares (to the extent they are Preferred Shares or Class B Common Shares) are convertible on the date of the Transfer Notice elected for purchase by such Exercising Shareholder under Section 2.3(b)(ii) shall be the numerator, and the aggregate of the number of Class A Common Shares comprising the Offered Shares and into which the Offered Shares (to the extent they are Preferred Shares or Class B Common Shares) are convertible on the date of the Transfer Notice elected for purchase by all Exercising Shareholders under Section 2.3(b)(ii) shall be the denominator. |
18
(iv) | To the extent that there are a portion but not all of Offered Shares left with respect to which no Preferred Shareholder has exercised its right of first refusal or right of re-allotment hereunder (the “Remaining Portion”), the Transferor has the right (subject to Sections 2.4 and 2.5 below) to sell to the Transferee(s) the Remaining Portion at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. |
(v) | Each Preferred Shareholder shall be entitled to apportion Offered Shares to be purchased among its partners and Affiliates, provided that such Preferred Shareholder notifies the Transferor of such allocation. |
(vi) | If any Preferred Shareholder gives the Transferor notice that it desires to purchase all or up to all of its pro rata share of the Offered Shares and, as the case may be, its re-allotment shares thereof, then payment for the Offered Shares shall be by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Shares (which delivery shall be evidenced by delivery to the Company of a duly executed instrument of transfer with respect to the transfer of such Offered Shares to the purchaser thereof and of any certificates representing such Offered Shares) to be purchased at a place agreed by the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than seventy (70) days after the Preferred Shareholders’ receipt of the Transfer Notice, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the Transferees. On the date of any such closing, the Company shall deliver to each Exercising Shareholder upon request, the updated register of members of the Company (certified by the registered agent of the Company, reflecting the sale and transfer of the Offered Shares sold and transferred to such Exercising Shareholder at such closing), the instrument of transfer with respect to the Offered Shares to be transferred to such Exercising Shareholder duly executed by the Transferor, certificate issued in the name of such Exercising Shareholder (or its partners or Affiliates in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(v)) representing the Offered Shares to be transferred to such Exercising Shareholder (or its partners or Affiliates in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(v)). |
19
(c) | Valuation of Property. |
(i) | Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Preferred Shareholders shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the value of such property. Each Preferred Shareholder shall have the option to indicate its non-binding interest (subject to satisfaction with the cash valuation of such property) in purchasing up to its respective pro rata share of the Offered Shares by delivering a written notice to the Transferor within five (5) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice (such Preferred Shareholders, the “Interested Preferred Shareholders”). |
(ii) | If the Transferor and the Interested Preferred Holders cannot agree on such cash value within ten (10) days after the Preferred Shareholders’ receipt of the Transfer Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by the Transferor and the Interested Preferred Shareholders within fifteen (15) days of such appraiser’s appointment (and in any event such valuation shall be made by the appraiser no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the Preferred Shareholders’ receipt of the Transfer Notice) or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within twenty (20) days after the Preferred Shareholders’ receipt of the Transfer Notice, each of the Transferor and the Interested Preferred Shareholders (acting collectively) shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and the two appraisers shall designate an independent third appraiser of recognized standing, who shall determine the cash valuation of such property within fifteen (15) days following its appointment (and in any event such valuation shall be made by such independent appraiser no later than the fortieth (40th) day after the Preferred Shareholders’ receipt of the Transfer Notice), and whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. |
(iii) | The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by the Transferor (on the one hand) and Interested Preferred Shareholders (on the other hand), with the half of the total cost borne by the Interested Preferred Shareholders to be borne pro rata by each based on the number of Shares such Interested Preferred Shareholders have indicated their non-binding interest in purchasing pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(i). |
20
2.4 | Right of Co-Sale. |
(a) | In the event the Transferor proposes to transfer all or a portion of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares held by such Restricted Shareholder to one or more Transferees pursuant to an understanding with such Transferee(s), to the extent the Preferred Shareholders do not exercise their respective rights of first refusal as to all of the Offered Shares pursuant to Section 2.3, each Preferred Shareholder (other than such Transferor or its Affiliates) which notifies the Transferor in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice referred to in Section 2.3(a) (or, if Section 2.3(c) applies, by the fifth (5th) Business Day after such valuation shall have been made pursuant to Section 2.3(c), if later) (a “Selling Holder”), shall have the right to participate in such sale on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice. |
(i) | Such Selling Holder’s notice to the Transferor shall indicate the number of Preferred Shares the Selling Holder wishes to sell under its right to participate. |
(ii) | To the extent one or more of the Selling Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Common Shares that the Transferor may sell in the Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced. |
(b) | Each Selling Holder may elect to sell up to such number of Preferred Shares equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of Common Shares and Preferred Shares covered by the Transfer Notice by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class A Common Shares into which the Preferred Shares owned by the Selling Holder are convertible on the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which is the sum of (1) the number of Class A Common Shares into which the Preferred Shares owned by all Selling Holders are convertible on the date of the Transfer Notice, (2) the total number of Class A Common Shares owned by the Transferor on the date of the Transfer Notice, and (3) the number of Class A Common Shares into which the Class B Common Shares and Preferred Shares owned by the Transferor are convertible on the date of the Transfer Notice. |
(c) | Each Selling Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Transferor for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent the type and number of Preferred Shares which such Selling Holder elects to sell; provided, however that if the prospective third-party purchaser objects to the delivery of Preferred Shares in lieu of Common Shares, such Selling Holder shall convert such Preferred Shares into Common Shares and deliver certificates corresponding to such Common Shares. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser and contingent on such transfer. |
21
(d) | The share certificate or certificates that a Selling Holder delivers to the Transferor pursuant to Section 2.4(c) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of such sale pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Transferor shall concurrently therewith remit to such Selling Holder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Selling Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. The Company shall take such steps as are necessary in order to update the share register of the Company to reflect the foregoing, which updated share register shall be certified by the registered agent of the Company and provided to any shareholder upon written request. |
(e) | To the extent that any prospective purchaser prohibits the participation of a Selling Holder exercising its co-sale rights hereunder in a proposed Transfer or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from a Selling Holder exercising its co-sale rights hereunder, the Transferor shall not sell to such prospective purchaser any Common Shares or Preferred Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Transferor shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Selling Holder for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Transfer Notice. |
2.5 | Non-Exercise of Rights. |
(a) | To the extent that the Preferred Shareholder have not exercised their rights to purchase the Offered Shares within the time periods specified in Section 2.3 and they have not exercised their rights to participate in the sale of the Offered Shares within the time periods specified in Section 2.4, the Transferor shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the expiration of such rights in which to sell the Offered Shares to the Transferee identified in the Transfer Notice upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable than those specified in the Transfer Notice. |
(b) | The Transferee shall acquire the Offered Shares free and clear of subsequent rights of first refusal and co-sale rights under this Agreement. In the event the Transferor does not consummate the sale or disposition of the Offered Shares within sixty (60) days from the expiration of such rights, the Preferred Shareholders’ rights of first refusal and co-sale rights shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Offered Shares by the Transferor until such rights lapse in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. |
22
(c) | The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of the Preferred Shareholders under this Section 2 to purchase Common Shares from a Transferor or participate in the sale of Common Shares by a Transferor shall not adversely affect their rights to make subsequent purchases from the Transferor of Common Shares or subsequently participate in sales of Common Shares by the Transferor hereunder. |

(a) | Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if, at any time after the Company’s first IPO (but not within six (6) months after the effective date of a registration relating to the Company’s first IPO), Holders holding fifteen percent (15%) or more of the Class A Common Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Registrable Securities may request in writing that the Company file a Registration Statement covering at least fifteen percent (15%) of the Class A Common Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Registrable Securities held by such Holders (or any lesser percentage if the anticipated aggregate offering would exceed US$15,000,000). |
43
(b) | Upon receipt of such a request, the Company shall (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other Holders and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within ninety (90) days of the receipt of such request, cause the Registrable Securities specified in the request, together with any Registrable Securities of any Holder who requests in writing to join such Registration within fifteen (15) days after the Company’s delivery of written notice, to be Registered and/or qualified for sale and distribution in such jurisdictions as the Initiating Holders may reasonably request. The Company shall be obligated to effect no more than three (3) Registrations pursuant to this Section 6.1, provided that if the sale of all of the Registrable Securities sought to be included pursuant to this Section 6.1 is not consummated for any reason other than due to the action or inaction of the Holders including Registrable Securities in such Registration, such Registration shall not be deemed to constitute one of the Registration rights granted pursuant to this Section 6.1. |
6.2 | Registration on Form F-3/S-3. |
(a) | Subject to the terms of this Agreement, at any time when it is eligible to use a Form F-3/S-3 registration statement, one or more Holders may request the Company in writing to file an unlimited number of Registration Statements on Form F-3/S-3 (or any successor form to Form F-3/S-3, or any comparable form for Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States) for a public offering of Registrable Securities for which the Company is entitled to use Form F-3/S-3 or a comparable form to Register the requested Registrable Securities. |
(b) | Upon receipt of such a request the Company shall (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other Holders and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within ninety (90) days of the receipt of such request, cause the Registrable Securities specified in the request, together with any Registrable Securities of any Holder who requests in writing to join such Registration within fifteen (15) days after the Company’s delivery of written notice, to be Registered and qualified for sale and distribution in such jurisdictions as the Initiating Holders may reasonably request. The Holders may at any time, and from time to time, require the Company to effect the Registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 6.2, provided that the anticipated aggregate offering in each registration on Form F-3/S-3 will exceed US$1,000,000. |
6.3 | Right of Deferral. |
(a) | The Company shall not be obligated to Register or qualify Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6: |
(i) | In any jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such Registration or qualification, unless the Company is already subject to service of process in such jurisdiction; |
44
(ii) | If, within ten (10) days of the receipt of any request of the Holders to Register any Registrable Securities under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, the Company gives notice to the Initiating Holders of its bona fide intention to effect the filing for its own account of a Registration Statement with the Commission within ninety (90) days of receipt of that request (other than a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or an offering solely to employees), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective, provided, further, that the Holders are entitled to join such Registration (subject to the terms and exemptions of Section 7); or |
(iii) | Within six (6) months immediately following the effective date of any Registration Statement pertaining to the securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or with respect to an employee benefit plan). |
(b) | If, after receiving a request from the Holders pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate signed by the CEO of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its Shareholders for a Registration Statement to be filed in the near future, the Company’s obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a Registration Statement shall be deferred for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the receipt of any request duly submitted by Holders under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 to Register Registrable Securities; provided that the Company shall not exercise the right contained in this Section 6.3(b) more than once in any twelve (12) month period. |
45
6.4 | Underwritten Offerings. If, in connection with a request to Register Registrable Securities under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, the Initiating Holders seek to distribute such Registrable Securities in an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of the request, and the Company shall include such information in the written notice to the other Holders described in Sections 6.1 and 6.2. 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 Initiating Holders representing a majority in voting power of the Registrable Securities held by the Initiating Holders) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to Initiating Holders representing a majority in voting power of the Registrable Securities held by the Initiating Holders). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors (including the aggregate number of 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 equity securities to be underwritten, the underwriters may exclude up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities from the underwriting if so justified after excluding any other equity securities from the underwriting. If a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities is required pursuant to this Section 6.4, the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting by selling Holders shall be allocated among such Holders, in proportion to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which the Holders would otherwise be entitled to include in the Registration. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the Registration. |
7. | Piggyback Registrations. |
7.1 | Registration of the Company’s Securities. Subject to Section 7.3, if at anytime the Company proposes to Register for its own account any of its equity securities in connection with the public offering of such securities, the Company shall promptly give each Holder written notice of such Registration and, upon the written request of any Holder given within twenty (20) days after delivery of such notice, the Company shall use its best efforts to include in such Registration any Registrable Securities thereby requested by such Holder. |
7.2 | Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration initiated by it under Section 7.1 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 7.3. |
46
7.3 | Underwriting Requirements. |
(a) | In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of the Company’s equity securities, the Company shall not be required to Register the Registrable Securities of a Holder under this Section 7 unless such Holder’s Registrable Securities are included in the underwriting and such Holder enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriters selected by the Company and setting forth such terms for the underwriting as have been agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters. In the event the underwriters advise Holders seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7 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 equity securities to be underwritten, the underwriters may exclude up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities from the Registration and underwriting if so justified after excluding any other equity securities (except for securities to be offered by the Company) from the Registration and underwriting. |
(b) | If a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities is required pursuant to paragraph (a) the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the Registration and underwriting by selling Holders shall be allocated among such Holders in proportion to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which the Holders would otherwise be entitled to include in the Registration. No Shareholder of the Company shall be granted piggyback registration rights which would reduce the number of shares includable by the holders of the Registrable Securities in such registration without the consent of the holders of at least seventy five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities. |
(c) | If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any underwriting, the Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriters delivered at least seven (7) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwriting shall be withdrawn from the Registration. |
7.4 | Exempt Transactions. The Company shall have no obligation to Register any Registrable Securities under this Section 7 in connection with a Registration by the Company (i) relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan, (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), or (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. |
47
8. | Procedures. |
8.1 | 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 possible: |
(a) | Prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to those Registrable Securities and use its 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 twenty (120) days; |
(b) | 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 Law with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the Registration Statement; |
(c) | Furnish to the Holders the number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, required by Applicable Securities Law, and any other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them; |
(d) | Use its 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, and provided further that in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the securities be borne by selling Shareholders, those expenses shall be payable pro rata by selling Shareholders; |
(e) | In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of the offering. Each Holder participating in the underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement; |
(f) | 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 Law or of 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; |
48
(g) | Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities Registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and, where applicable, a CUSIP number for all those Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of the Registration; |
(h) | Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered for sale in connection with a Registration pursuant to this Agreement, (i) an opinion, dated the date of the sale, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of the Registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering; and (ii) a comfort letter dated the date of the sale, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters; and |
(i) | Take all reasonable action necessary to list the Registrable Securities on the primary exchange upon which the Company’s securities are then traded. |
8.2 | 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. |
8.3 | Expenses of Registration. All expenses, other than Selling Expenses, 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 underwriters, 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 Holders representing a majority in voting power 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 thereby Registered in the withdrawn Registration), except that the Company shall be required to pay for such expenses if Holders representing a majority in voting power of the Registrable Securities intended to be Registered elect to treat such withdrawn Registration request as one of the Registration rights granted pursuant to Section 6.1. |
49
8.4 | Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any Registration as the result of any controversy that may arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement. |
9. | Indemnification. |
9.1 | Company Indemnity. |
(a) | To the extent permitted by Law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, such Holder’s officers, directors, shareholders, legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls (as defined in the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject (except for any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from or related to any negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud by any Company Indemnified Party) 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”): (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 in the Registration Statement, 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 (iii) 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. |
(b) | The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9.1 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), 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 that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such Registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling Person. |
50
(c) | With respect to any preliminary prospectus, the foregoing indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or underwriter, or any Person controlling (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter, from whom the Person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder or underwriter to such Person, if required by Law so to have been 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. |
9.2 | Holder Indemnity. |
(a) | To the extent permitted by Law, each selling Holder will 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, (each, a “Holder Indemnified Party”) 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 (except for any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from or related to any negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud by any Holder Indemnified Party), 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 Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 9.2, 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. |
(b) | The indemnity contained in this Section 9.2 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), and in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 9.2 exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. |
51
9.3 | Notice of Indemnification Claim. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 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 9.1 or Section 9.2, 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 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 of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 9, 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 9. |
9.4 | Contribution. If any indemnification provided for in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 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. |
52
9.5 | 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. |
9.6 | Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement, and otherwise. |
10. | Additional Undertakings. |
10.1 | 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 Law that may at any time permit an Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without Registration or pursuant to a Registration on Form F-3/S-3 (or any comparable form in a jurisdiction other than the United States), the Company agrees to: |
(a) | Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or comparable provision 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 filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public; |
(b) | File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under all Applicable Securities Laws; and |
(c) | At any time following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the IPO, promptly furnish to any Holder holding Registrable Securities, upon request (i) 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/S-3 (or any form comparable thereto under Applicable Securities Laws of any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents as may be filed by the Company with the Commission, and (iii) 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 such form. |
53
10.2 | Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the Series F-1 First Closing Date, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority in voting power of the Registrable Securities, 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 (a) to include such securities in any Registration filed under Section 7, 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 securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included, or (b) to demand Registration of their securities. |
10.3 | “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Holder agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed l80 days) (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, 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 shares of equity securities (whether then owned or thereafter acquired) 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 (a) all directors, officers and all other Shareholders holding at least one percent (1%) of the then outstanding Shares of the Company (on an as-converted basis) must be bound by restrictions substantially identical to those applicable to any Holder pursuant to this Section 10.3, (b) all Holders will be released from any restrictions set forth in this Section 10.3 to the extent that any other members subject to substantially similar restrictions are released, and (c) 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 initial public offering are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.3 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 impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. |
10.4 | Termination of Registration Rights. The registration rights of Holders shall terminate upon the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Company’s Qualified IPO, or earlier as to any Shareholder who, following the Company’s Qualified IPO, can sell such Shareholder’s Registrable Securities under Rule 144 in a three (3) month period. |
54
10.5 | Assignment of Registration Rights. |
(a) | The right to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned by an Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities; provided that: (a) such transferee or assignee acquires at least 200,000 Registrable Securities of the Company, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization and the like; (b) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (c) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (d) such transfer or assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under Applicable Securities Law. |
(b) | Notwithstanding the requirements in Section 10.5(a) above, transfer of registration rights granted under this Section 10 by any Holder of Registrable Securities to a partner, Shareholder, or Affiliate thereof will be without restriction as to minimum shareholdings. |
10.6 | 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 Common Share Equivalents, have not been exercised, converted or exchanged, as applicable, for Common Shares. |
11. | Covenants and Undertakings. |
11.1 | Delivery of Financial Statements. So long as any Preferred Shareholder continues to hold at least 500,000 Preferred Shares (or 300,000 Preferred Shares in the case of each of WI Xxxxxx and NewQuest) (including Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares), in each case subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization and the like, the Company shall, upon the annual written request of any such Preferred Shareholder by no later than March 1 of each year for which the following information is requested, deliver to such Preferred Shareholder: |

The Company Group shall permit each Preferred Shareholder to attend its monthly management meetings. |

(iii) | If the Principal Tribunal makes an order for consolidation, the parties to each Dispute which is a subject of the Principal Tribunal’s order shall be treated as having consented to the Principal Tribunal: (1) thereafter having jurisdiction to resolve all disputes forming part of the consolidation order to the exclusion of the other arbitral tribunals; and (2) in accordance with the procedure, at the seat and in the language of the proceedings in which the Principal Tribunal was constituted, save as otherwise agreed by all parties to the consolidated proceedings or, in the absence of such agreement, as ordered by the Principal Tribunal. In making an order for consolidation, the Principal Tribunal may also (i) order that notice of the consolidation order and its effect be given immediately to any arbitrators already appointed in relation to the disputes that were consolidated under the consolidation order; and (ii) give such directions as it considers appropriate (a) 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 20.2); and (b) to ensure the proper organization of the arbitration proceedings and that all the issues between the Parties are properly formulated and resolved. |
(iv) | Upon the Principal Tribunal making an order for consolidation, any appointment of arbitrators relating to arbitrations that are the subject of the consolidation order issued 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 discharged and 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 the date of the order for consolidation, (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. |
(v) | 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 20.2 where such objections are based solely on the fact that consolidation of the same has occurred. |
(j) | Pending the determination of the Dispute by the arbitration tribunal, the Parties shall continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement save with respect to those matters that are the subject of the aforesaid arbitration. |
(k) | Any arbitral award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto, and the prevailing party in the arbitration may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award. |
72
20.3 | Each of the parties hereto agrees to do all things and take all actions in their capacity of shareholders, including voting shares, to accomplish the purposes of the provisions set forth in Schedule J attached hereto, and to amend the Memorandum and Articles if the corresponding provisions in the Memorandum and Articles differ from those set forth in Schedule J. |

The remaining balance shall be paid in the form of a one-year promissory note (the “Redemption Note”) to such Holders. Each Redemption Note shall bear an interest of five percent (5%) per annum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all assets or funds of the Company that become legally available for the redemption of shares shall immediately be used to pay the redemption payment which the Company did not pay on the date that such redemption payments were due in the order provided in Section 1(F), with any such payment be credited first to any accrued but unpaid interest on each outstanding Redemption Note and second to any outstanding principle amount of each outstanding Redemption Note. Without limiting any rights of the holders of Preferred Shares which are set forth in the Company’s Memorandum and Articles, or are otherwise available under law, the balance of any shares subject to redemption hereunder with respect to which the Company has become obligated to pay the redemption payment but which it has not paid in full shall continue to have all the powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional, and other special rights (including, without limitation, rights to accrue dividends) which such shares had prior to such date, until the redemption payment has been paid in full with respect to such shares. |
