(b) Underwriting. If the Holders initiating the registration request under this Section 4.3 (the “Initiating Holders”) intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, then they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 4.3 and the Company shall include such information in the Request Notice. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.3, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced as required by the underwriter(s) and allocated (x) first, to the Investors on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by each Investor requesting registration and (y) then, to the other Holders of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by each such Holder requesting registration; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration including, without limitation, all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person, including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; provided further, that at least twenty-five percent (25%) of shares of Registrable Securities requested by the Holders to be included in such underwriting and registration shall be so included.

(d) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Holders requesting registration pursuant to this Section 4.3, a certificate signed by the president or chief executive officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed at such time, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; provided further, that the Company shall not register any other of its shares during such twelve (12) month period. A demand right shall not be deemed to have been exercised until such deferred registration shall have been effected.

Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(b) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 4.4 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder’s Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company, second, to each of the Investors requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of shares of Registrable Securities then held by each such Investor, third, to the other Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of shares of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder and fourth, to holders of other securities of the Company; provided, however, that the right of the underwriter(s) to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate number of shares of Registrable Securities for which inclusion has been requested; and (ii) all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person, including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded, unless otherwise approved by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.
13
(c) Not Demand Registration. Registration pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 4.3 above. There shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 4.4.
4.5 Form F-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of a majority of all Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 (or an equivalent registration in a jurisdiction outside of the U.S.) and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company will:
(a) Notice. Promptly give written notice of the proposed registration and the Holder’s or Holders’ request therefor, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and
(b) Registration. As soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within twenty (20) days after the Company provides the notice contemplated by Section 4.5(a); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 4.5:
(i) if Form F-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than US$500,000;
14
(iii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the president or chief executive officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form F-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form F-3 registration statement no more than once during any twelve (12) month period for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 4.5; provided that the Company shall not register any of its other shares during such sixty (60) day period.
(iv) if the Company has, within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected one registration under the Securities Act other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of the Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Holders requested be included in such registration) pursuant to the provisions of Sections 4.3(b) and 4.4(b); or
(v) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
(c) Not Demand Registration. Form F-3 registrations shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 4.3 above. Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 4.5.
(d) Underwriting. If the Holders of Registrable Securities requesting registration under this Section 4.5 intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, the provisions of Section 4.3(b) shall apply to such registration.
4.6 Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to Sections 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 (but excluding Selling Expenses and the issuance fees of the American depositary shares in relation to shares held by the Holders) shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to Sections 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all Selling Expenses or other amounts payable to underwriter(s) or brokers, in connection with such offering by the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 4.3 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered, unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then issued and outstanding agree that such registration constitutes the use by the Holders of one (1) demand registration pursuant to Section 4.3 (in which case such registration shall also constitute the use by all Holders of Registrable Securities of one (1) such demand registration); provided further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company not known to the Holders at the time of their request for such registration and have withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration pursuant to Section 4.3.
15
4.7 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to ninety (90) days or, in the case of Registrable Securities registered under Form F-3 in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act or a successor rule, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such ninety (90) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period any Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of the underwriter(s), and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form F-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such ninety (90) day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold.
(b) Amendments and Supplements. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.
(c) Prospectuses. Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration.
16
(d) Blue Sky. Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.
(e) Underwriting. In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering.
(f) Notification. Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of (i) the issuance of any stop order by the SEC in respect of such registration statement, or (ii) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such 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.
(g) Opinion and Comfort Letter. Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriter(s) for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) letters dated as of (x) the effective date of the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities and (y) the closing date of the offering 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 and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
17
4.8 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the Registration of their Registrable Securities.
4.9 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5:
(a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by Laws, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its partners, officers, directors, legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other U.S. federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”):
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto;
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in such 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 the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any U.S. federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any U.S. federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;
and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, its partner, officer, director, legal counsel, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 4.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder or any partner, officer, director, counsel, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.
18
(b) By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by Laws, each selling Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, directors, officers, legal counsel or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, legal counsel, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other U.S. federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 4.9(b) exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which the applicable Violation arises.
(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnified party under this Section 4.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 4.9 to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission to so 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 4.9.
19
(d) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.9 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 4.9 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any indemnified party in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 4.9; then, and in each such case, the indemnified party and the indemnifying party will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) (A) in such proportion so that a Holder (together with its related persons) is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by and sold under such registration statement, and the Company and other selling Holders are responsible for the remaining portion, or (B) If the allocation clause (A) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred in clause (A) but also the relative fault of the relevant parties. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any such case: (A) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds to such Holder from the sale of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 4.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement, regardless of the expiration of any statutes of limitation or extensions of such statutes. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, 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.
20
4.10 Termination of the Company’s Obligations. The Company’s obligations under Sections 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 with respect to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registration pursuant to Section 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Listing and (ii) after Listing, the date on which such Holder is eligible to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by it under Rule 144 within any ninety (90) day period without volume limitations.
4.11 No Registration Rights to Third Parties. Without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities then issued and outstanding, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any person or entity any registration rights of any kind (whether similar to the demand, “piggyback” or Form F-3 registration rights described in this Section 4, or otherwise) relating to any securities of the Company which are senior to, or on a parity with, those granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities.
4.12 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to make available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form F-3, after such time as a public market exists for the Ordinary Shares, 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, at all times after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) File with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the Company’s Qualified Public Offering), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or its qualification as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (iii) such other reports and documents of the Company as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to Form F-3.
21
4.13 Market Stand-Off. Each shareholder of the Company agrees that, so long as it holds any voting securities of the Company, upon request by the Company or the underwriters managing the IPO of the Company’s securities, it will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any securities of the Company (other than those permitted to be included in the registration and other transfers to Affiliates permitted by Laws) without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for a period of time specified by the representative of the underwriters not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration statement covering such IPO or the pricing date of such offering as may be requested by the underwriters. The foregoing provision of this Section 4.13 shall not apply to the sale of any securities of the Company to an underwriter pursuant to any underwriting agreement, and shall only be applicable to the Holders if all officers, directors and holders of one percent (1%) or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital enter into similar agreements, and if the Company or any underwriter releases any officer, director or holder of one percent (1%) or more of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital from his or her sale restrictions so undertaken, then each Holder shall be notified prior to such release and shall itself be simultaneously released to the same proportional extent. The Company shall require all future acquirers of the Company’s securities holding at least one percent (1%) of the then issued and outstanding share capital of the Company to execute prior to a Qualified Public Offering a market stand-off agreement containing substantially similar provisions as those contained in this Section 4.13.
5. | RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION. |
5.1 General. The Investors and/or their assignees shall have the right of first refusal to purchase (or designate any other person to purchase) their respective Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of any New Securities (as defined in Section 5.3) that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement (the “Right of Participation”).
5.2 Pro Rata Share. For the purposes of the Right of Participation, an Investor’s “Pro Rata Share” is the ratio of (a) the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by such Investor, to (b) the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by all the Investors immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities giving rise to the Right of Participation.
5.3 New Securities. “New Securities” shall mean any Preferred Shares, Ordinary Shares or other voting or non-voting shares of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and Ordinary Share Equivalents issued or to be issued (or, pursuant to Section 13.2, deemed to be issued) by the Company after the Original Issue Date of the Series C-1 Preferred Shares, provided, however, that the term “New Securities” shall not include the securities set forth below (the “Excluded Securities”):
22
(a) any of the Company’s Ordinary Shares and/or options or warrants therefor issued or issuable to employees, officers, directors, contractors, advisors or consultants of the Company pursuant to the ESOP;
(b) any securities issuable upon by GENEXINE’s exercise of its conversion option under the GENEXINE Loan Agreement;
(c) any securities issuable upon any Warrant Holder’s exercise of Tranche II of Series B Warrant provided that the Company fails to submit a draft regristration statement to an internationally recognized securities exchange or a securities regulatory governmental authority for a Qualified Public Offering by July 31, 2019;
(d) any securities issued or issuable in connection with any capitalization issue (such issue not to dilute the Investor’s shareholding) share split, share dividend, reclassification or other similar event in which all the Investors are entitled to participate on a pro rata basis;
(e) any securities issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any issued and outstanding security if such issued and outstanding security constituted a New Security;
(f) any securities issuable pursuant to a Qualified Public Offering;
(g) any Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares; and
(h) any Shares issuable upon Series C Additional Issuance and Series C-1 Additional Issuance.
5.4 Procedures.
(a) First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), it shall give to each Investor of the Company written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the amount and type of New Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Investor shall have twenty (20) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such First Participation Notice (the “First Participation Period”) to agree in writing to purchase such Investor’s Pro Rata Share of the Participation Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the First Participation Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the number of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Investor’s Pro Rata Share of the Participation Securities). If any Investor fails to so agree in writing within the First Participation Period to purchase such Investor’s full Pro Rata Share of an offering of the Participation Securities, then such Investor shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of its Pro Rata Share of the Participation Securities that it did not agree to purchase.
23
(b) Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription. If any Investor fails or declines to exercise its Right of Participation in accordance with Subsection (a) above, the Company shall promptly give notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to other Investors who exercised their Right of Participation (the “Right Participants”) in accordance with Subsection (a) above. Each Right Participant shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of the Second Participation Notice (the “Second Participation Period”) to notify the Company of its desire to purchase more than its Pro Rata Share of the Participation Securities, stating the number of the additional Participation Securities it proposes to buy (the “Additional Number”). Such notice may be made by telephone if confirmed in writing within five (5) Business Days. If, as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining Participation Securities available for purchase, each oversubscribing Right Participant will be cut back by the Company with respect to its oversubscription to that number of remaining Participation Securities equal to the lesser of (x) the Additional Number and (y) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining Participation Securities available for subscription by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by such oversubscribing Right Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by all the oversubscribing Right Participants. Each Right Participant shall be obligated to buy such number of New Securities as determined by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.4 and the Company shall so notify the Right Participants within fifteen (15) Business Days following the date of the Second Participation Notice.
5.5 Failure to Exercise. Upon the expiration of the Second Participation Period, or in the event no Investors exercises the Right of Participation within the First Participation Period, the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the New Securities described in the First Participation Notice (with respect to which the Right of Participation hereunder was not exercised) at the same or higher price and upon non-price terms not more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold such New Securities within such ninety (90) days period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Investors pursuant to this Section 5.
5.6 Termination. The Right of Participation shall not be applicable in the case of a Qualified Public Offering and terminate upon the Listing.
24
5.7 Adherence to this Agreement. The Company shall cause each potential subscriber to execute and deliver a deed of adherence substantially in form set forth in Exhibit B in this Agreement prior to the issue of New Securities to such potential subscriber.
6. | TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. |
6.1 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Section 6 and in the avoidance of any doubt, “Ordinary Shares” comprise of (i) the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, (ii) the Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Company’s issued and outstanding preferred shares, (iii) the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of issued and outstanding options or warrants and (iv) the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of any issued and outstanding Convertible Securities; and “Restricted Shares” means any of the Company’s securities now owned or subsequently acquired, directly or indirectly, by any Founder, Founder’s Holdco or its Permitted Transferee which is prohibited from transfer subject to Section 6.7 of this Agreement. “ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders” means the Investors and their respective permitted assignees to whom their rights under this Section 6 have been duly assigned in accordance with Section 6.7 of this Agreement, or any other person designated by the foregoing, in case that any Founder, Founder’s Holdco or its Permitted Transferee intends to transfer the Restricted Shares.
6.2 Sale of Restricted Shares; Notice of Sale. Subject to Section 6.7 of this Agreement, if any Founder, Founder’s Holdco or its Permitted Transferee (the “Selling Shareholder”) proposes to sell or transfer any Shares directly or indirectly held by it, then the Selling Shareholder shall promptly give written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to each ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder and the Company prior to such sale or transfer. The Transfer Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed sale or transfer, including without limitation, the number of Restricted Shares to be sold or transferred (the “Offered Shares”), the nature of such sale or transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee.
6.3 Right of First Refusal.
(a) ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders’ Option. Each ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Shareholder, the Company, and each other ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder, within thirty (30) days following the date of the Transfer Notice (the “First Refusal Period”), to elect to purchase all or any part of its pro rata share of the Offered Shares equivalent to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of the Offered Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by such ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder at the time of the transaction and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) owned by all the ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders at the time of the transaction (the “First Refusal Allotment”), at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. To the extent that any ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder does not exercise its right of first refusal to the full extent of its First Refusal Allotment, the Selling Shareholder and the exercising ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders shall, within five (5) days after the end of the First Refusal Period, make such adjustments to the First Refusal Allotment of each exercising ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder so that any remaining Offered Shares may be allocated to those ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders exercising their rights of first refusal on a pro rata basis. For purpose of the foregoing sentence, “on a pro rata basis” means on the basis of the ratio of (a) the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by a ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder exercising its right of first refusal, to (b) the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) then held by all ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders exercising their respective rights of first refusal.
25
(b) Action Required. A ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder shall not have the right to purchase any of the Offered Shares unless it exercises its right of first refusal within the First Refusal Period to purchase up to all, or any of its pro rata share, of the Offered Shares.
(c) Expiration Notice. Within ten (10) days after expiration of the First Refusal Period, the Company will give written notice (the “First Refusal Expiration Notice”) to the Selling Shareholder and each ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder specifying either (i) that all of the Offered Shares were purchased by the ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders by exercising their rights of first refusal, or (ii) that the ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders have not purchased all of the Offered Shares, in which case the First Refusal Expiration Notice will specify the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the remaining Offered Shares for the purpose of their co-sale rights described in Section 6.4 below.
(d) Purchase Price. The purchase price per share for the Offered Shares to be purchased by the ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders exercising their right of first refusal will be the price per share set forth in the Transfer Notice, and will be payable as set forth in Section 6.4(c). If the purchase price in the Transfer Notice includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the Board in the form of a Board Approval in good faith, which determination will be binding upon the ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders, and the Selling Shareholder, absent fraud or error.
(e) Payment. Payment of the purchase price for the Offered Shares purchased by the ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders shall be made within ten (10) days following the date of the First Refusal Expiration Notice. Payment of the purchase price shall be made by wire transfer or check as directed by the Selling Shareholder.
26
(f) Rights of a Selling Shareholder. If any ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder exercises its right of first refusal to purchase the Offered Shares, then, upon the date the notice of such exercise is given by such ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder, the Selling Shareholder will have no further rights as a holder of such Offered Shares except the right to receive payment for such Offered Shares from such ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Selling Shareholder will forthwith cause all certificate(s) evidencing such Offered Shares to be surrendered to the Company for transfer to such ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder.
6.4 Co-Sale Right. To the extent the ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders have not exercised their right of first refusal with respect to all the Offered Shares, then each ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder that has not exercised its right of first refusal provided in Section 6.3 above shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Shareholder, the Company and each other ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder (the “Co-Sale Notice”) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the First Refusal Expiration Notice (the “Co-Sale Right Period”), to participate in such sale of the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Co-Sale Notice shall set forth the number of Company securities (on an as-converted to Ordinary Shares basis) that such participating ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder wishes to include in such sale or transfer, which amount shall not exceed the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of such ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder. To the extent one or more of the ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Offered Shares that the Selling Shareholder may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced. To the extent that any ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder does not participate in the sale to the full extent of its Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion, the Selling Shareholder and the participating ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders shall, within ten (10) days after the end of the Co-Sale Right Period, make such adjustments to the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion of each participating ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder so that any remaining Offered Shares may be allocated to other participating ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders on a pro rata basis. The co-sale right of each ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion. Each ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder exercising its co-sale right may sell all or any part of that number of Ordinary Shares held by it (on an as-converted basis) that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of the Offered Shares subject to the co-sale right hereunder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) owned by such ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder exercising their co-sale rights at the time of the sale or transfer and the denominator of which is the number of all Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) owned by the Selling Shareholder (excluding any Ordinary Shares of the Selling Shareholder on which any ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder has exercised its right of first refusal) and all ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders exercising their co-sale rights hereunder (“Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion”).
27
(b) Transferred Shares. Each participating ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Selling Shareholder for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent:
(i) the number of Company securities which such ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder elects to sell;
(ii) that number of Preferred Shares, which is at such time convertible into the number of Ordinary Shares that such ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder elects to sell (calculated on an as-converted basis); provided in such case that, if the prospective purchaser objects to the transfer of Preferred Shares in lieu of Ordinary Shares, such ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder shall convert such Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares and deliver certificates for Ordinary Shares as provided in Subsection 6.4(b)(i) above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser; or
(iii) a combination of the above.
(c) Payment to ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders; Registration of Transfer. The share certificate or certificates that the participating ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder delivers to the Selling Shareholder pursuant to Section 6.4(b) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Selling Shareholder shall concurrently therewith remit to such ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from a ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder exercising its co-sale right hereunder, the Selling Shareholder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Offered Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Selling Shareholder shall purchase such shares or other securities from such ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holder. The Company shall, upon surrendering by the prospective purchaser or the Selling Shareholder of the certificates for the Preferred Shares or Ordinary Shares being transferred from the participating ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders as provided above, make proper entries in the register of members of the Company (the “Register of Members”) and cancel the surrendered certificates and issue any new certificates in the name of the prospective purchaser or the Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, as necessary to consummate the transactions in connection with the exercise by ROFR and Co-Sale Right Holders of their co-sale rights under this Section 6.4.
28

If upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the Series A Investors shall be insufficient to permit the payment for the Series A Preference Amount in full, then after the holders of Series C-1 Preferred Shares receive the Series C-1 Preference Amount, the Series C Investors receive the Series C Preference Amount and the Series B Investors receive the Series B Preference Amount, the rest of the assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the Series A Investors in proportion to the Series A Preference Amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive for the Series A Group Shares held by it.

(i) | If traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the security’s closing prices on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending one (1) day prior to the distribution; |
(ii) | If traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution; and |
(iii) | If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board in the form of a Board Approval. |
11.2 The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability shall be adjusted to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in Subsection 11.1(g) (i), (ii) or (iii) to reflect the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board in the form of a Board Approval. Any Investor shall have the right to challenge any determination by the Board of fair market value pursuant to this Section 11, in which case the determination of fair market value shall be made by an independent appraiser selected jointly by the Board in accordance with a Board Approval and the challenging parties, the cost of such appraisal to be borne by the Company.

The price at which Ordinary Shares shall be issuable upon conversion of any Series A-3 Preferred Share (the “Series A-3 Conversion Price”) shall initially be the Deemed A-3 Issue Price per Ordinary Share. The price at which Ordinary Shares shall be issuable upon conversion of any Series A-1 Preferred Share (the Series A-1 Conversion Price” or any Series A-2 Preferred Share (the “Series A-2 Conversion Price”, together with the Series A-1 Conversion Price, the Series A-3 Conversion Price, the Series B Conversion Price, the Series B-1 Conversion Price, the Series B-2 Conversion Price, the Series C Conversion Price and the Series C-1 Conversion Price, collectively as “Conversion Prices” , and each, the “Conversion Price”) shall initially be a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the sum of the considerations paid by the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Shares for the Series A-1 Preferred Shares and by the holders of Series A-2 Preferred Shares for the Series A-2 Preferred Shares, and (ii) the denominator of which is the aggregate of the number of total Series A-1 Preferred Shares and Series A-2 Preferred Shares. Such initial Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.

39
12.2 Automatic Conversion. Each Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into Ordinary Shares at the then respective effective Conversion Price upon the Listing.

12.3 Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional Ordinary Share shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then respective effective Conversion Price.
(a) In the event of an optional conversion pursuant to Section 12.1, before any holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into Ordinary Shares and to receive certificates therefor, the holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Shares to be converted and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that the holder elects to convert the same. The Company shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Shares a certificate or certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable (if any) as the result of a conversion into fractional Ordinary Shares. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender the certificate or certificates representing the Preferred Shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Ordinary Shares on such date.
40
(b) In the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 12.2, all holders of Preferred Shares will be given at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date fixed (which date shall in the case of a Qualified Public Offering be the latest practicable date immediately prior to the closing of such Qualified Public Offering) and the place designated for automatic conversion of all such Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 12.2(b). Such notice shall be sent by overnight courier, postage prepaid, to each record holder of the Preferred Shares at such holder’s address appearing on the Register of Members. On or before the date fixed for conversion, each holder of the Preferred Shares shall surrender his or its certificate or certificates for all such shares to the Company at the place designated in such notice, and shall promptly receive certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 12.2(b) and a cheque denominated in U.S. dollars payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as a result of a conversion into fractional Ordinary Shares. On the date fixed for conversion, the Register of Members shall be updated to show that the converted Preferred Shares have been redeemed and all rights with respect to the Preferred Shares so converted will terminate, with the exception of the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates therefor, to receive Ordinary Shares (which shall be recorded as issued to such holder in the Register of Members) and certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares into which such Preferred Shares have been converted and payment of any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. All certificates evidencing Preferred Shares which are required to be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof shall, from and after the date such certificates are so required to be surrendered, be deemed to have been retired and cancelled and the Preferred Shares represented thereby converted into Ordinary Shares for all purposes, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender such certificates on or prior to such date.
(c) The directors of the Company may effect such conversion in any manner available under applicable Law, including redeeming or repurchasing the relevant Preferred Shares and applying the proceeds thereof towards payment for the new Ordinary Shares. For purposes of the repurchase or redemption, the directors may, subject to the Company being able to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business, make payments out of its capital.
41
12.4 Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all issued and outstanding Preferred Shares, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then issued and outstanding Preferred Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Preferred Shares, the Company and the shareholders of the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
13. | ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE |
13.1 No Adjustment of Conversion Price. No adjustment in the respective Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of the Excluded Securities or the issuance of New Securities unless the issue price per share for the New Securities issued or deemed to be issued by the Company is less than the respective Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue.
13.2 Deemed Issue of New Securities. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the respective Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class or series of shares entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of Ordinary Shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number that would result in an adjustment pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section 13.2 below) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be New Securities issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that New Securities shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the issue price per share (determined pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof) of such New Securities would be less than the respective Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, or such record date, as the case may be, and provided further that in any such case in which New Securities are deemed to be issued:
(a) no further adjustment in the respective Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;
42
(b) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company, or increase or decrease in the number of Ordinary Shares issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the respective Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;
(c) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the respective Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:
(i) | in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Ordinary Shares, the only New Securities issued were Ordinary Shares, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, and |
(ii) | in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the New Securities deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Company upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised; |
(d) no readjustment pursuant to Subsection (b) or (c) above shall have the effect of increasing the respective Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the respective Conversion Price on the original adjustment date, or (ii) the respective Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuance of New Securities between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date; and
43
(e) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than thirty (30) days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of the respective Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the manner provided in Subsection (c) above.
13.3 Conversion Price Adjustments. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows (provided that the Conversion Price shall not fall below the par value of the Shares):
(a) Dilutive Issuance. The adjustments to Conversion Price for dilutive issuance set forth in this Section 13 shall apply to the Series C-1 Preferred Shares, Series C Preferred Shares, Series B Group Shares and Series A Group Shares only. For the avoidance of any doubt, the adjustments provided in this Section 13 shall not be applicable to the issuance of any Excluded Securities.
(i) | Anti-dilution Adjustment for Series C-1 Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares. If at any time, the Company shall issue or sell New Securities for a consideration per share received by the Company (net of any selling concessions, discounts or commissions) (the “New Price”) less than the applicable then-effective Series C-1 Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price, as the case may be, in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Series C-1 Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price determined as set forth below: |
NCP = OCP * (OS + (NP/OCP))/(OS + NS)
WHERE:
NCP = the new Conversion Price with respect to such Series C-1 Preferred Share or Series C Preferred Share, as the case may be,
OCP = the Series C-1 Conversion Price or the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the new issuance,
OS = the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately before the issuance of the New Securities plus the total Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all the issued and outstanding Preferred Shares,
NP = the total consideration received for the issuance or sale of the New Securities, and
NS = the number of the Ordinary Shares represented by the New Securities issued or sold.
44
(ii) | Anti-dilution Adjustment for Series B Group Shares. If at any time, the Company shall issue or sell New Securities for a New Price which is less than the applicable then-effective Series B Conversion Price, Series B-1 Conversion Price or Series B-2 Conversion Price, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Series B Conversion Price, Series B-1 Conversion Price or Series B-2 Conversion Price, as applicable, shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to such New Price. |
(iii) | Anti-dilution Adjustment for Series A Group Shares. If at any time, the Company shall issue or sell New Securities for a New Price which is less than the applicable then-effective Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price or Series A-3 Conversion Price, in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price or Series A-3 Conversion Price, as applicable, shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to such New Price. |
(b) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 13.3, the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any New Securities shall be computed as follows:
(i) | Cash and Property. Except as provided in Subsection (ii) below, such consideration shall: |
(A) | insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Company excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends; |
(B) | insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board in the form of a Board Approval; provided, however, that no value shall be attributed to any services performed by any employee, officer or director of the Company; and |
45
(C) | in the event New Securities are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both such New Securities and such other shares or securities or other assets, be the proportion of such consideration so received with respect to such New Securities, computed as provided in Subsection (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Board in the form of a Board Approval. |
(ii) | Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for New Securities deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 13.2, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing: |
(x) | the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company (net of any selling concessions, discounts or commissions) as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities by; and |
(y) | the maximum number of Ordinary Shares (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. |
(c) Adjustments for Shares Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidations of Ordinary Shares. In the event the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be subdivided (by share dividend, share split, or otherwise), into a greater number of Ordinary Shares, the respective Conversion Prices then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of Ordinary Shares, the respective Conversion Prices then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.
46
(d) Adjustments for Other Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time makes, or files a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive any distribution payable in securities or assets of the Company other than Ordinary Shares then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Preferred Shares shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of Ordinary Shares receivable thereupon, the amount of securities or assets of the Company which they would have received had their Preferred Shares been converted into Ordinary Shares on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of conversion, retained such securities or assets receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustment called for during such period under this Section 13.3(d) with respect to the rights of the holders of Preferred Shares.
(e) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes or series of shares, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), then and in each such event the holder of each Preferred Share shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization or reclassification or other change by holders of the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Preferred Shares immediately before that change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
13.4 No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of the Restated Articles or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of Section 13 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Preferred Shares against impairment.
13.5 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the respective Conversion Prices pursuant to this Section 13.5, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Shares a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Shares, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the respective Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares.
47
13.6 Miscellaneous.
(a) All calculations under this Section 13.6 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth (1/100) of a share, as the case may be.
(b) The holders of at least a two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding Preferred Shares (voting together as a single class and calculated on an as-converted basis) shall have the right to challenge any determination by the Board of fair value pursuant to this Section 13.6 if such determination is with respect to a Conversion Price adjustment, in which case such determination of fair value shall be made by an independent appraiser selected jointly by the Board in the form of a Board Approval and the challenging parties, the cost of such appraisal to be borne equally by the Company and the challenging parties.
(c) No adjustment in the respective Conversion Price need to be made if such adjustment would result in a change in such Conversion Price of less than US$0.0001 (as appropriately adjusted for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and similar events). Any adjustment of less than US$0.0001 which is not made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of US$0.0001 or more in the respective Conversion Price.

In such event, the parties shall use best efforts to negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision or agreement which most nearly effects the parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement.
49
14.6 Third Parties. Unless expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, no person other than the parties to this Agreement will have any right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Chapter 623 of the Laws of Hong Kong) to enforce or to enjoy the benefit of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

50
14.13 Ranking.

14.14 Jurisdiction. The terms of Section 4 of this Agreement are drafted primarily in contemplation of an offering of securities in the U.S. The Parties recognize, however, the possibility that securities may be qualified or registered in a jurisdiction other than the U.S. for offering to the public or that the Company might effect an offering in the United States of America in the form of American Depositary Receipts or American Depositary Shares. Accordingly, it is their intention that, whenever this Agreement refers to a Law, form, process or institution of the United States of America but the Parties wish to effectuate qualification or registration in a different jurisdiction, reference in this Agreement to the Law, form, process or institution of the U.S. shall be read as referring, mutatis mutandis, to the comparable Law, form, process or institution of the jurisdiction in question.
14.15 No Partnership. The Investors expressly do not intend hereby to form a partnership, either general or limited, under any jurisdiction’s partnership law. The Investors do not intend to be partners one to another, or partners as to any third party, or create any fiduciary relationship among themselves, by virtue of their status as Investors.
14.16 Termination of Prior Agreement.

14.17 Unlawful Xxxxxxx.

51
