3.2 Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 3:

(a) Registration. The terms “register”, “registered”, and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement under the Securities Act, and the declaration of effectiveness of such registration statement.

(b) Registrable Securities. The term “Registrable Securities” means: (1) Ordinary Shares of the Company issued or to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares; (2) Ordinary Shares of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, any of the foregoing; (3) any other Ordinary Share owned or hereafter acquired by the Investors, including Ordinary Shares issued in respect of the Ordinary Shares described in (1)-(2) above upon any share split, share dividend, recapitalization or a similar event; and (4) any depositary receipts issued by an institutional depositary upon deposit of any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Registrable Securities” shall not include any Registrable Securities sold by a Person in a transaction in which rights under this Section 3 are not assigned in accordance with this Agreement or any Registrable Securities sold in a public offering, whether sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or in a registered offering, or otherwise.

The terms “Form S-3” and “Form F-3” means such respective form under the Securities Act as is in effect on the date hereof or any successor or comparable registration form under the Securities Act subsequently adopted by the SEC, which permits inclusion or incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.

3.3 Demand Registration.

(a) Request by Holders. If the Company shall receive, at any time after the earlier of (i) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing, or (ii) six (6) months after the Company’s initial public offering, a written request from the Holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company files a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.3, then the Company shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such written request, give a written notice of such request (the “Request Notice”) to all Holders. The Holders shall send a written notice stating the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and included in such registration (the “Request Securities”) to the Company within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Request Notice. The Company shall thereafter use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration of the Request Securities, and subject only to the limitations of this Section 3.3, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration if the Company has, within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 3.3 or Section 3.5, or in which the Holders had an opportunity to participate pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4, other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Holders requested be included in such registration) pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4(a).

(b) Underwriting. If the Holders initiating the registration request under this Section 3.3 (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 3.3 and the Company shall include such information in the Request Notice referred to in Section 3.3(a). In the event of an underwritten offering, 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 3.3, 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 among the Holders of Registrable Securities on a pro-rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by each Holder requesting registration (including the Initiating Holders); provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced (i) by more than (x) seventy-five percent (75%) for an offering that is not an IPO and (y) one hundred percent (100%) for an IPO, and (ii) unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration including all shares that are not Registrable Securities and all shares that are held by any other Person, including any Person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. Further, if, as a result of such underwriter cutback, the Holders cannot include in the IPO all of the Registrable Securities that they have requested to be included therein, then such Registration shall not be deemed to constitute one of the three (3) demand Registrations to which the Holders are entitled pursuant to this Section 3. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by delivering a 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. For any Holder that is a partnership, the Holder and the partners and retired partners of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, and for any Holder that is a corporation, the Holder and all corporations that are affiliates of such Holder, shall be deemed to be a single “Holder”, and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder”, as defined herein.

(c) Maximum Number of Demand Registrations. The Company shall have no obligation to effect more than three (3) registrations pursuant to this Section 3.3.

(d) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Holders requesting the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 3.3, 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, 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 during such ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not file any registration statement pertaining to the public offering of any securities of the Company.

(e) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses (excluding only underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the Registrable Securities sold by the Holders) incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section 3.3, including all U.S. federal, “blue sky” and all foreign registration, filing and qualification fees, printer’s and accounting fees, the fees and expenses (including disbursements) of outside counsels for the Holders and any fee charged by any depositary bank, transfer agent or share registrar. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of shares of Registrable Securities sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all discounts and commissions relating to the Registrable Securities sold by the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay any expense of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Section 3.3 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered, unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding agree that such registration constitutes the use by the Holders of one (1) demand registration pursuant to this Section 3.3 (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, or if the registration proceeding is terminated for any reason not specifically covered by this Section 3.3(e), then the Company shall be required to pay all of such expenses and such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration pursuant to this Section 3.3.

3.4 Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for the purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any registration under Section 3.3 or Section 3.5 of this Agreement or to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall within ten (10) Business 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.

(a) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 3.4 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 3.4 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 by the Company 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, and second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro-rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder; provided, however, that the right of the underwriter(s) to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced (x) below twenty-five percent (25%), with respect to any offering that is not an IPO, or (y) to zero percent for an IPO, of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities for which inclusion has been requested, even if this will cause the Company to reduce the number of shares it wishes to offer; and (ii) all shares that are not Registrable Securities and all shares that are held by any other Person, including 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. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by delivering a written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s) 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. For any Holder that is a partnership, the Holder and the partners and retired partners of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, and for any Holder that is a corporation, the Holder and all corporations that are affiliates of such Holder, shall be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

(b) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses (excluding only underwriting and brokers’ discounts and commissions relating to shares sold by the Holders) incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 3.4, including all U.S. federal, “blue sky” and all foreign registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, the fees and expenses (including disbursements) of outside counsels for the Holders and any fee charged by any depositary bank, transfer agent or share registrar. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 3.4 notwithstanding the cancellation or delay of the registration proceeding for any reason.

(c) Not Demand Registration. Registration pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 3.3 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 3.4.

3.5 Form S-3 or Form F-3 Registration. After its initial public offering, the Company shall use its best efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or Form F-3 or any comparable or successor form promptly and to maintain such qualification thereafter. If the Company is qualified to use Form S-3 or Form F-3, any Holder or Holders of at least ten percent (10%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding shall have a right to request in writing that the Company effect a registration on either Form S-3 or Form F-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, and upon receipt of each such request, the Company shall perform the tasks set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) below:

(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 date on which the Company provides the notice contemplated by Section 3.5(a); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 3.5:

(i) if Form S-3 or Form F-3 becomes unavailable 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 of less than US$1,000,000 to the public; or

(iii) if the Company has, within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration under the Securities Act other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Holders requested be included in such registration) pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4(a).

(c) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses (excluding only underwriting or brokers’ discounts and commissions relating to shares sold by the Holders) incurred in connection with each registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.5, including all U.S. federal, “blue sky” and all foreign registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, the fees and expenses (including disbursements) of outside counsels for the Holders and any fee charged by any depositary bank, transfer agent or share registrar. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 3.5 notwithstanding the cancellation or delay of the registration proceeding for any reason.

(d) Maximum Frequency. 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 3.5.

(e) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 3.5, 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 Form S-3 or Form F-3 registration statement to be filed, 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 during such ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not file any registration statement pertaining to the public offering of any securities of the Company.

(f) Not Demand Registration. Form S-3 or Form F-3 registrations shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 3.3 above.

(g) Underwriting. If the requested registration under this Section 3 is for an underwritten offering, the provisions of Section 3.3(b) shall apply.

If the Company fails to perform any of the Company’s obligations set forth above in this Section 3.5 relating to a demand registration made pursuant to Section 3.3, such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration under Section 3.3.

3.6 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company shall, as soon as practicable:

(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 keep any such registration statement effective for a period of one (1) year or until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto, whichever is earlier;

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;

(e) Deposit Agreement. If the registration relates to an offering of depositary shares or other securities representing Ordinary Shares deposited pursuant to a deposit agreement or similar facility, cause the depositary under such agreement or facility to accept for deposit under such agreement or facility all Registrable Securities requested by each Holder to be included in such registration in accordance with this Section 3;

(h) Opinions 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 Registrable Securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such Registrable Securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities becomes effective, (i) opinions, each dated as of such date, of the counsels 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 Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a “comfort letter” dated as of such date, 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 Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.

3.7 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 that the Holders shall furnish to the Company information regarding such Holders, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities as shall reasonably be required to timely effect the Registration of their Registrable Securities.

3.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5:

(a) By the Company. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law and any indemnification agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its Affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employee, legal counsel, agent, any underwriter (as determined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who Controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the 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 applicable Law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities or actions in respect thereof arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”):

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto;

(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or

(iii) any violation or alleged violation of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities Law promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable Law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;

and the Company shall reimburse each such Holder and its Affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees, legal counsel, agents, underwriters 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; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 3.8(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, conditioned or delayed, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, underwriter or controlling Person of such Holder.

(b) By Selling Shareholders. To the extent permitted by Law, each selling Holder, on a several and not joint basis, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each Person, if any, who Controls the Company, 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 applicable 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 the Company’s reasonable 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 contained in this Section 3.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this Section 3.8(b) plus any amount under Section 3.8(e) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises.

(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 3.8 of notice of the commencement of any action, including any governmental action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 3.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof (a “Claim Notice”) 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, (i) during the period from the delivery of a Claim Notice until retention of counsel by the indemnifying party; and (ii) 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 a 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 3.8 to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission to deliver a written notice to the indemnified party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 3.8.

(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 Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling Person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.8 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 3.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling Person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under Section 3.8(b); then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such Holder 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; provided, however, that, in any such case: (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no Person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation as defined in 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 3.8 shall survive for six (6) years after 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.

3.9 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:

(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times 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 SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company;

(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual, interim, quarterly or other report of the Company and, (iii) such other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

3.10 Termination of the Company’s Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligations pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 with respect to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registered public offering (i) five (5) years after the consummation of a Qualified IPO, or (ii), if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all such Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder may then be sold under Rule 144 in one transaction without exceeding the volume limitations thereunder.

3.11 No Registration Rights to Third Parties. Without the prior written consent of the Preferred Majority, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any Person or entity any registration rights of any kind, whether similar to the demand, “piggyback” or Form S-3 or Form F-3 registration rights described in this Section 3, or otherwise, relating to any shares or other securities of the Company, other than rights that are subordinate to the rights of the Holders hereunder.

3.12 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that, if and to the extent requested by the lead underwriter of securities of the Company in connection with a registration relating to a specific proposed public offering (other than a registration on Form S-8 or a related or successor form relating solely to an employee benefit plan or a registration on Form S-4 or a related or successor form relating solely to a transaction under SEC Rule 145), such Holder will, subject to the following conditions, enter into a lock-up or standoff agreement in customary form (subject to the following conditions) under which such Holder agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities or other shares of the Company owned by such Holder as of the date of such registration for up to one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the related registration statement. The obligations of each Holder under this Section 3.12 are subject to the following conditions: (i) the lockup or standoff agreement applies only to the first registration statement of the Company which covers securities to be sold on its behalf to the public in an underwritten offering, but not to Registrable Securities actually sold pursuant to such registration statement; (ii) such Holder is satisfied that all directors, officers, and holders of 1% or more of any class of securities of the Company are bound by substantially identical restrictions; (iii) the lockup or standoff agreement provides that if any securities of the Company are to be excluded or released in whole or part from such restrictions, the underwriter shall so notify each Holder within three (3) days and each Holder shall be excluded or released, in proportionate amounts to the extent of the exclusion or release with respect to any other holder of Company’s securities, including any director, officer, or holder of 1% or more of any class of securities of the Company subject to such restrictions; and (iv) the lockup or standoff agreement by its terms permits transfers of Registrable Securities by any Holder to any Affiliate of such Holder during the restricted period, provided that such Affiliate executes a lock-up or standoff agreement substantively identical to that signed by the transferring Holder. The lock-up or standoff agreement shall expire no later than ninety (90) days after execution by the Holder if no underwritten public offering has occurred by the date of such execution. The Company may impose a stop-transfer restriction with respect to Registrable Securities that are subject to any such lockup or standoff agreement, but shall remove such restriction immediately upon the expiration or termination of such lockup or standoff agreement. The Company and the Key Parties shall take all steps (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) to minimize the lock-up of the Investors’ shares upon and after the initial public offering of the Company.

3.13 Public Offering Rights (Non-U.S. Offerings). If shares of the Company are offered in an underwritten public offering (whether or not a Qualified IPO) outside of the United States for the account of any Ordinary Shareholder or other shareholders, each Holder shall have the right to include a pro-rata number of shares (based on the number of shares (on an as-converted basis) then held by such Holder and all other shareholders of the Company selling in such offering) in such offering on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Holders than to any other selling shareholder.

3.14 Re-sale Rights. The Company shall use its best efforts to assist each Holder in the sale or disposition of its Registrable Securities after a Qualified IPO, including the prompt delivery of applicable instruction letters by the Company and legal opinions from the Company’s counsels in forms reasonably satisfactory to the Holder’s counsel. In the event the Company has depositary receipts listed or traded on any stock exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, the Company shall pay all costs and fees related to such depositary facility, including conversion fees and maintenance fees for Registrable Securities held by the Holders.

3.15 Ineligible shareholders.

(a) No Shareholder may Transfer, and the Company may not issue, any Equity Securities in the Company to any of the individuals or entities named on (A) lists promulgated by the United Nations Security Council or its committees pursuant to resolutions issued under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter; or (B) the World Bank Listing of Ineligible Firms (see xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxx). Any such Transfer shall be null and void.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 12.14, unless and until the IFC and/or its Affiliates no longer holds any Equity Securities in the Company, the provisions of this Section 3.15 shall survive a Listing provided that after the consummation of the admission of any Ordinary Shares of the Company to listing on any securities exchange and/or to trading on any public trading market, but this subsection (b) shall not apply in the case of sales of Shares of the Company on any open market where the identity of the transferee cannot be ascertained by the transferor or the Company, as the case may be (but shall apply in cases where the identity of the transferee is known, including but not limited to sales in a privately-negotiated transaction).

4.	RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION.

4.1 With Respect to Issuance of New Securities:

(a) General. Each of the Key Parties and the Preferred Shareholder (the “Participation Rights Holders”, and each a “Participation Rights Holder”) shall have a preemptive right to purchase such a Pro Rata Share of all or any part of the New Securities that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement (the “Right of Participation”). Each Participation Rights Holder shall be entitled to apportion its Right of Participation hereby granted to it among itself and its Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate, provided that, such Affiliate shall execute and deliver to the Company and the other parties hereto the Adherence Agreement as provided in Section 6.1(d).

(b) Pro Rata Share. A Participation Rights Holder’s “Pro Rata Share” is the ratio of (a) the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of all convertible securities) then held by such Participation Rights Holder, to (b) the total number of Ordinary Shares of the Company (calculated on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of all convertible securities) then held by all Participation Rights Holders immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities giving rise to the Right of Participation.

(c) 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 rights, options, warrants, commitment, call, preemptive right or other right to purchase such Preferred Shares, Ordinary Shares and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into such Preferred Shares, Ordinary Shares or other voting or non-voting shares, provided, however, that the term “New Securities” shall not include:

(i) any Ordinary Shares or Preferred Shares issued under the Transaction Documents, or any Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares;

(ii) any securities issued in connection with any share split, share dividend or other similar events in which all Participation Rights Holders are entitled to participate on a pro rata basis;

(iii) any Ordinary Shares issued or issuable to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Group Companies pursuant to any equity plan or incentive arrangement to be approved in accordance with this Agreement and the Restated M&A;

(iv) those issued as a dividend or distribution on the Preferred Shares or any event for which adjustment is made;

(v) any securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Company by consolidation, merger, purchase of assets, or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, a majority of the assets, voting power or equity ownership of such other corporation or entity, as duly approved in accordance with this Agreement and the Restated M&A; and

(vi) any securities offered in an underwritten registered public offering by the Company, as duly approved in accordance with this Agreement and the Restated M&A.

(d) Procedures.

(i) 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 Participation Rights Holder a written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the amount, the type and the price of New Securities and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Participation Rights Holder shall be entitled to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities at the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the First Participation Notice by giving a written notice to the Company and stating therein the number of New Securities to be purchased (such number shall not exceed such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share) within twenty-five (25) Business Days from the date of such First Participation Notice. If any Participation Rights Holder fails to send such written notice within the prescribed time period or declines to exercise fully its Right of Participation, then the right of such Participation Rights Holder to purchase that part of its Pro Rata Share that it did not agree to purchase hereunder shall be forfeited.

(ii) Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription. If any Participation Rights Holder fails or declines to exercise fully its Right of Participation in accordance with subsection (d)(i) above, the Company shall promptly give a written notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to other Participation Rights Holders who agreed to exercise their Right of Participation in full (the “Rights Participants”) in accordance with subsection (d)(i) above. Each Rights 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 New Securities, stating the number of the additional New Securities it proposes to purchase. Such notice may be made by telephone if followed by a written confirmation within two (2) Business Days from the date of verbal notice. If as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities available for purchase, the oversubscribing Rights Participants will be cut back by the Company with respect to their oversubscriptions to that number of remaining New Securities equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for subscription by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of the Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of all convertible securities) held by each oversubscribing Rights Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of the Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of all convertible securities) held by all the oversubscribing Rights Participants. Each oversubscribing Rights Participant shall be obligated to purchase such number of additional New Securities as determined by the Company pursuant to this subsection (d)(ii) and such procedure shall be completed or confirmed within ten (10) days from the date of the Second Participation Notice.

(e) Failure to Exercise. (i) In the event Participation Rights Holders do not exercise the Right of Participation with respect to all New Securities described in the First Participation Notice, after twenty-five (25) Business Days following the date of the First Participation Notice, or (ii) upon the expiration of the Second Participation Period, as the case may be, the Company shall have a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days thereafter to sell the New Securities described in the First Participation Notice (with respect to which the Right of Participation was not fully exercised) at the same price and upon the same non-price terms specified in the First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold such New Securities within such prescribed period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such New Securities to the Participation Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 4.

4.2 With Respect to Shares Owned by Certain Ordinary Shareholders:

(a) Restriction on Transfers. Subject to Section 9.2 and Section 10.1, each Selling Shareholder shall not sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of its Shares to any Person, whether directly or indirectly, except with the prior written consent of the Preferred Majority and in compliance with this Section 4.2 and Section 5. In the case that any Share is held by his/its ultimate beneficial owner through one or more level(s) of holding companies (including, without limitation, the Founder Holdcos), any transfer, repurchase, or new issuance of the shares of such holding companies or similar transactions shall be deemed as an indirect transfer of such Shares. The parties agree that the restrictions on the transfer of the Shares held by the Key Parties contained in this Agreement shall apply to such indirect transfer and shall not be circumvented by means of any indirect transfer of the Shares.

(b) Notice of Sale. If any Selling Shareholder proposes to sell or transfer, directly or indirectly, any of its Shares (the “Transfer Shares”), then the Selling Shareholder shall promptly give a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to each Preferred Shareholder (the “ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder”) and to the Company, which Transfer Notice shall include (i) the number of Transfer Shares to be sold or transferred and the nature of such sale or transfer, (ii) the identity (identities) (including name(s) of the prospective transferee(s), and (iii) the consideration and the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed sale or transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed transfer.

(c) Notice of Purchase. Each ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder’s pro rata share of the Transfer Shares at the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice by giving a written notice to the Selling Shareholder within twenty- five (25) Business Days after the date of the Transfer Notice (the “First Refusal Period”) stating therein the number of Transfer Shares to be purchased. If a ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder exercises such right and notifies the Selling Shareholder of the number of Transfer Shares to be purchased, then such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder shall complete the purchase of the Transfer Shares on the same terms and conditions as those set out in the Transfer Notice. A failure by a ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder to respond within such prescribed period shall constitute a decision by such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder not to exercise its right to purchase such Transfer Shares. For the purposes of this clause (c), each ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder’s pro rata share of the Transfer Shares shall be equal to the number of Transfer Shares, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of all convertible securities) held by such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder on the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of all convertible securities) held on the date of the Transfer Notice by all ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holders which exercise their right of first refusal under this clause (c) on the date of the Transfer Notice. Each ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder shall be entitled to apportion the right of first refusal hereby granted to it in such proportions as it deems appropriate, among itself and its Affiliates which are not Competitors.

(d) Second Transfer Notice; Over-Allotment. To the extent that any ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder does not exercise its right of first refusal to the full extent to purchase such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder’s pro rata share of the Transfer Shares, the Selling Shareholder shall deliver written notice thereof (the “Second Transfer Notice”), within five (5) days after the expiration of the First Refusal Period, to each ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder that elected to the full extent to purchase such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder’s pro rata share of the Transfer Shares (the “Exercising Holder”). Each Exercising Holder shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of the Second Transfer Notice (the “Second Refusal Period”) to notify the Selling Shareholder of its desire to purchase more than its pro rata share of the Transfer Shares, stating the number of the additional Transfer Shares it proposes to purchase. Such notice may be made by telephone if followed by a written confirmation within two (2) Business Days from the date of verbal notice. If as a result thereof, such over-allotment exceeds the total number of the remaining Transfer Shares available for purchase, the over-purchasing Exercising Holders will be cut back or limited by the Selling Shareholder with respect to their over-allotment to that number of remaining Transfer Shares equal to the lesser of (a) the number of the additional Transfer Shares it proposes to purchase; (b) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining Transfer Shares available for purchase by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of all convertible securities) held by each over-purchasing Exercising Holder and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of all convertible securities) held by all the over-purchasing Exercising Holders. Each over-purchasing Exercising Holder shall be obligated to purchase such number of additional Transfer Shares as determined by the Selling Shareholder pursuant to this subsection (d) and the Selling Shareholder shall so notify such Exercising Holders within fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of the Second Transfer Notice.

(e) Non-Exercise. Subject to the provisions of Section 5, in the event the ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder fails to purchase all of the Transfer Shares within the above-prescribed period, the Selling Shareholder shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days after delivery of the Transfer Notice to each ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder to sell such Transfer Shares not purchased by the ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holders (the “Remaining Shares”) at a price upon terms and conditions no more favorable to the transferee than specified in the original Transfer Notice. In the event that the Selling Shareholder has not sold the Remaining Shares within such prescribed period, the Selling Shareholder shall not thereafter sell any Shares without first offering such Shares to the ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holders in the manner provided in this Section 4 and in Section 5.

(f) Closing. If any ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder elects to purchase the Transfer Shares pursuant to this Section 4.2, then the payment for the Transfer Shares to be purchased shall be made within the twenty-five (25) Business Days after the expiration of the First Refusal Period or Second Refusal Period (as the case may be) by wire transfer in immediately available funds of the appropriate currency, against delivery of such Transfer Shares to be purchased, or at a place and time otherwise agreed by the Selling Shareholder and each ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder that has elected to purchase all or part of the Transfer Shares.

5.	INVESTORS’ CO-SALE RIGHT.

5.1 Co-Sale Right. To the extent any ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder does not exercise its respective rights of first refusal at all as to all of the Transfer Shares pursuant to Section 4.2, such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder shall have the right, exercisable upon delivery of a written notice to the Selling Shareholder, with a copy to the Company, within twenty-five (25) Business Days after the date of the Transfer Notice, to participate in the sale of any Transfer Shares to the extent of such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Co-Sale Share at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions indicated in the Transfer Notice. A failure by the ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder to respond within such prescribed period shall constitute a decision by such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder not to exercise its right of co-sale as provided herein. To the extent one (1) or more of the ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holders exercise such right of co-sale in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Transfer Shares that the Selling Shareholder may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced. The foregoing co-sale right of each ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) each ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder may sell all or any part of its Pro Rata Co-Sale Share of the Transfer Shares. A ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder’s “Pro Rata Co-Sale Share” of a specified quantity of Transfer Shares shall mean that number of Ordinary Shares (or that number of Preferred Shares which, if converted at the current conversion ratio, would equal that number of Ordinary Shares) which equals the specified quantity of Transfer Shares proposed to be transferred multiplied by a fraction equal to (i) the total number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) then held by such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder exercising co-sale rights pursuant to this Section 5, divided by (ii) the total number of Ordinary Shares held by the Selling Shareholder plus the total number of Ordinary Shares then held by all ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holders exercising co-sale rights pursuant to this Section 5, on an as-converted basis. As used in this definition, the phrase “on an as-converted basis” shall mean assuming conversion of all Preferred Shares but not assuming exercise or conversion of any other outstanding option, warrants, or other convertible securities;

(b) each ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Selling Shareholder, with a copy to the Company, for transfer to the prospective purchaser share certificates in respect of all Shares to be sold by such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder and a transfer form signed by such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder, which indicates:

(i) the number of Ordinary Shares which such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights 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 Rights Holder elects to sell; or

(iii) any combination of the foregoing;

provided, however, that if the prospective purchaser objects to the allotment of Preferred Shares in lieu of Ordinary Shares, such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder shall convert such Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares and allot Ordinary Shares. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser.

5.2 Procedure at Closing. The share certificate or certificates that such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder delivers to the Selling Shareholder pursuant to Section 5.1(b) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Transfer 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 Rights Holder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibit such assignment or otherwise refuse to purchase shares or other securities from a ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, the Selling Shareholder shall not sell any Transfer Shares to such prospective purchaser or purchasers unless and until, simultaneously with such sales, the Selling Shareholder shall purchase such shares or other securities from such ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder. In selling their Shares pursuant to their co-sale right hereunder, the ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holders shall not be required to give any representations or warranties with respect to their Shares to be sold except to confirm that they have not transferred or encumbered such Shares.

5.3 Non-Exercise. Subject to Section 4.2, to the extent the ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holders do not elect to participate in the sale of Transfer Shares pursuant to the Transfer Notice, the Selling Shareholder may, not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following delivery of the Transfer Notice to each ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holder, effect a transfer of the Remaining Shares covered by the Transfer Notice and not elected to be sold by the ROFR and Co-Sale Rights Holders.

Upon request of the Dragging Shareholders, the Dragged Shareholders shall be required to make customary and usual representations and warranties in connection with the Transfer of the Called Shares, including, without limitation, as to their ownership and authority to Transfer, free of all Encumbrances of any kind, the Called Shares (provided that with respect to the Dragged Shareholders who are Preferred Shareholders, they shall only be required to make customary representations and warranties as to their ownership and authority to Transfer, and free of all Encumbrances of any kind, the Called Shares) and shall, without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, the Proposed Buyer against all Losses of whatever nature arising out of, in connection with or related to any breach of any representation or warranty made by, or agreements, understandings or covenants of the Dragged Shareholders as the case may be, under the terms of the agreements relating to such Transfer of the Called Shares; provided that (i) the indemnification liability of the Dragged Shareholders under this Section 9.2 shall be several and not joint; (ii) a Dragged Shareholder shall not be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other Person in connection with the Trade Sale, other than the Company (except to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company); (iii) the liability of a Dragged Shareholder shall be limited to such Shareholder’s applicable share (determined based on the respective proceeds payable to such Shareholder in connection with such Trade Sale in accordance with the provisions of the Charter Documents) of a negotiated aggregate indemnification amount that applies equally to all Shareholders but that in no event exceeds the amount of consideration otherwise payable to such Shareholder in connection with such Trade Sale, except with respect to claims related to fraud or willful misconduct by such Shareholder; (iv) no Dragged Shareholder who is a financial investor shall be required in connection with such Trade Sale to agree to any non-customary administrative covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants requiring such Dragged Shareholders not to compete with any party; and (v) such terms and conditions, including with respect to price paid or received per Equity Security of the Company, may differ as between different classes of equity securities of the Company in accordance with their relative liquidation preferences as set forth in Article 129 of the Restated M&A.

(f) If the consideration offered is payable in securities or property other than cash (or evidence of cash indebtedness), the Board (including the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Preferred Directors in office) shall in good faith determine the fair market value of any such securities or property in cash, provided that any Preferred Shareholder shall have the right to challenge any determination by the Board of fair market value made pursuant hereto, in which case the determination of fair market value shall be made by a valuer selected jointly by the Board (including the affirmative votes of at least the majority of the Preferred Directors in office) and the challenging Parties. The valuer shall prepare a report setting forth the basis of its calculating such fair market value, and the determination of such fair market value by the valuer shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and conclusive. The costs of the valuer shall be borne solely by the Company. The valuer shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

(i) all of the Dragged Shareholders and the Dragging Shareholders agree otherwise in which case the Completion Date shall be the date agreed in writing by all of the Dragged Shareholders and the Dragging Shareholders; or

(ii) that date is less than ten (10) days after the date on which the Drag Along Notice is deemed effectively given pursuant to Section 12.5, in which case the Completion Date shall be the tenth day after the date on which the Drag Along Notice is deemed effectively given pursuant to Section 12.5.

(h) The transfer restrictions set forth in Sections 4.2, 5 and 10.1 shall not apply to any Transfer of Shares in the Company to a Proposed Buyer (or as it may direct) under this Section 9.2.

(i) On the Completion Date, the Dragged Shareholders shall deliver executed share transfer forms for the Called Shares, together with the relevant share certificates (or a suitable indemnity for any lost share certificates) to the Proposed Buyer, and the Proposed Buyer shall pay the consideration due for their Called Shares.

(j) If any Dragged Shareholder does not, on the Completion Date, execute share transfer form(s) in respect of all of the Called Shares held by it, the defaulting Dragged Shareholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed any Person nominated for the purpose by the Dragging Shareholders to be such Dragged Shareholder’s agent and attorney to execute all necessary share transfer form(s) on its behalf to deliver such share transfer form(s) to the Proposed Buyer (or as it may direct) as the holder thereof; provided that, solely for the purposes of this Section 9.2(j), “Dragged Shareholder” shall exclude the IFC Investors. After the Proposed Buyer (or its nominee) has been registered as the holder, the validity of such proceedings shall not be questioned by any such Person. Failure to produce a share certificate shall not impede the registration of Shares under this Section 9.2(j).

(k) Following the issue of a Drag Along Notice on any Person becoming a Member of the Company pursuant to the exercise of a pre-existing option to acquire Shares in the Company or on the conversion of any securities of the Company (the “New Holder”), a Drag Along Notice shall be deemed to have been served on the New Holder on the same terms as the previous Drag Along Notice.

The Tax Filing Plan shall, among other things, provide therein the formula to allocate the Aggregate Tax Base among all relevant Shareholders of the Company that are subject to the Bulletin 7 in such Exit Tax Event (the “Relevant Shareholders”) (the “Tax Base Allocation”), Tax calculation mechanism, Tax cost calculation, and applicable Tax treaty benefit application to the Relevant Shareholders; provided that such Tax Base Allocation shall be fair and reasonable to all Shareholders, and shall not disproportionately and/or materially adversely impact or affect any one or more Preferred Shareholders. The “Aggregate Tax Base” shall mean the aggregate Tax base and/or Tax cost base that is, as determined or approved by the competent PRC Tax authorities, deductible from the aggregate proceeds derived from an Exit Tax Event when calculating the aggregate PRC Tax payable by all Relevant Shareholders under Bulletin 7 with respect to such Exit Tax Event. The Parties agree that all information contained in Tax filing documents to be submitted pursuant to Bulletin 7 to the competent PRC Tax authorities should be submitted in accordance with the Tax Filing Plan. The Parties further agree that whether the Company implements the capital injection obligation under Section 8.7 of the Share Purchase Agreement shall not affect the Parties’ implementation of the Tax Base Allocation hereunder.

(b) If, upon the occurrence of an Exit Tax Event, the allocation of the Aggregate Tax Base among the Relevant Shareholders that is allowed or approved by the competent PRC Tax authorities is different from the agreed Tax Base Allocation, the Relevant Shareholders hereby agree to make adjustments, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, among such Relevant Shareholders to the effect that the Aggregate Tax Base should be allocated to each such Relevant Shareholder in accordance with the Tax Base Allocation.

(c) Each Party further agrees that, prior to any official communication with the competent PRC Tax authorities on behalf of Relevant Shareholders or with regard to any Tax under Bulletin 7 resulting from any Exit Tax Event and to be ultimately borne by any Relevant Shareholder, the Tax filing advisor and/or Tax agent, the Tax Filing Plan (including but not limited to Tax calculation mechanism, Tax cost calculation, the Tax Base Allocation, and applicable Tax treaty benefit application to Relevant Shareholders) and the Tax filing documents to be submitted pursuant to Bulletin 7 to competent PRC Tax authorities for the Exit Tax Event shall be approved by the Super Series F Majority and Ordinary Majority after good faith consultation with the other Relevant Shareholders and taking into account any reasonable comments they may have thereon. The Parties shall comply with the following time limits (the “Internal Time Limits”): (x) within thirty (30) days after the execution of definitive agreements of an Exit Tax Event, the Tax filing advisor and/or Tax agent for the Exit Tax Event shall be confirmed and designated by the Ordinary Majority and Super Series F Majority; and (y) the Relevant Shareholders shall have at least thirty (30) days for review, confirmation and approval of any Tax plan for the Exit Tax Event; provided that the Relevant Shareholders agree to adjust the Internal Time Limits, before execution of the definitive agreements for the Exit Tax Event, if and as needed to meet the applicable mandatory time limits for submissions or reporting to the competent PRC Tax authorities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Relevant Shareholder may, at any time and at its sole discretion, select to file its own Tax declaration individually, in which case Sections 11.5(a) and 11.5(b) above shall still apply to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and this Section 11.5(c) shall no longer apply to such Relevant Shareholder.

12.	MISCELLANEOUS.

The Company and the Parties hereby waive any and all rights to demand a trial by jury in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, brought against the IFC Investors in any forum in which the IFC Investors are not entitled to immunity from a trial by jury.

(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that no provision of this Agreement in any way constitutes or implies a waiver, termination or modification by the IFC Investors of any privilege, immunity or exemption of the IFC Investors granted in the Articles of Agreement establishing the IFC Investors, international conventions or applicable law.

(d) To the extent that the Company or the Parties may, in any action, suit or proceeding brought in any court of the United States of America or elsewhere arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, be entitled to the benefit of any provision of law requiring the IFC Investors in such action, suit or proceeding to post security for the costs of the Company, or to post a bond or to take similar action, the Company and the Parties hereby irrevocably waive such benefit, in each case to the fullest extent now or in the future permitted under the laws of the United States of America or, as the case may be, the jurisdiction in which such court is located.

12.6 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party upon any breach or default of any other Party hereto under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of the aggrieved Party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Party of any breach or default under this Agreement or any waiver on the part of any Party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

12.12 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Negotiation Between Parties; Mediations. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute, controversy or claim, or difference of any kind whatsoever (each, a “Dispute”) between them regarding this Agreement. If the negotiations do not resolve the Dispute to the reasonable satisfaction of the relevant parties, then each party to the Dispute that is a company shall nominate one (1) authorized officer as its representative. The relevant parties or their representatives, as the case may be, shall, within thirty (30) days of a written request by either party to call such a meeting, meet in Person and alone (except for one (1) assistant for each party) and shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute. If the Disputes cannot be resolved by such senior managers in such a meeting, the parties agree that they shall, if requested in writing by either party, meet within thirty (30) days after such written notification for one (1) day with an impartial mediator and consider Dispute resolution alternatives other than formal arbitration. If an alternative method of Dispute resolution is not agreed upon within thirty (30) days after the one (1) day mediation, either party to the Dispute may begin formal arbitration proceedings to be conducted in accordance with subsection (b) below. This procedure shall be a prerequisite before taking any additional action hereunder.

(b) Arbitration. In the event the parties are unable to settle a Dispute between them regarding this Agreement in accordance with subsection (a) above, the Dispute shall be finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center (the “HKIAC”) in accordance with the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force at the time of the commencement of the arbitration. However, if such rules are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 12.12, including the provisions concerning the appointment of arbitrators, the provisions of this Section 12.12 shall prevail.

(i) The Law of this arbitration clause shall be Hong Kong Law. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong.

(ii) The number of arbitrators shall be three (3). The claimants in the Dispute shall nominate one (1) arbitrator, the respondents in the Dispute shall nominate one (1) arbitrator, and the two (2) arbitrators shall jointly select the third arbitrator who shall act as the presiding arbitrator of the arbitration tribunal. The language of the arbitration proceedings and written decisions or correspondence shall be English.

(iii) Any party to the Dispute shall be entitled to seek preliminary injunctive relief, if possible, from any court of competent jurisdiction pending the constitution of the tribunal.

12.13 Shareholders Agreement to Prevail. If and to the extent that there are inconsistencies between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the Restated M&A, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail among the Parties hereto other than the Company. The Parties agree to take all actions necessary or advisable, as promptly as practicable after the discovery of such inconsistency, to amend the Restated M&A so as to eliminate such inconsistency.

12.14 Term and Termination of Rights. This Agreement shall take effect as of the date hereof. This Agreement and all rights and covenants contained herein shall terminate on the closing of a Qualified IPO except for obligations set forth in Sections 3, 6, 10.5, 10.6, 10.8, 11 and 12 which will terminate in accordance with their respective terms; provided that if the relevant Laws or listing rules do not permit the survival of any such Sections upon a Qualified IPO, each Party shall use its best efforts to amend this Agreement to terminate such Section in a timely manner so as not to delay the completion of a Qualified IPO. If for the purpose of a Qualified IPO and as approved by the Preferred Majority (which shall include Freesia, for so long as Freesia holds no less than 25,352,171 Series E Preferred Shares, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any share dividend, share split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series E Preferred Shares; provided that written approval given by the observer appointed by Freesia with respect hereto shall be deemed as written approval given by Freesia for such purpose), the Group Companies are required or advised by their counsel to conduct a reorganization, the Preferred Majority (which shall include Freesia, for so long as Freesia holds no less than 25,352,171 Series E Preferred Shares, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any share dividend, share split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series E Preferred Shares; provided that written approval given by the observer appointed by Freesia with respect hereto shall be deemed as written approval given by Freesia for such purpose) may elect to waive any or all of its preferred or special rights hereunder, effective as of the completion of such reorganization; provided that, in the event that the Qualified IPO does not occur within twelve (12) months after the completion of such reorganization, each of the Group Companies and the Key Parties shall take all such actions as necessary or desirable to restore all the rights and privileges of the Investors contained herein, including without limitation (i) causing the Company to amend the Restated M&A, (ii) causing the Company to issue to the Investors applicable class and number of shares of the Company, and (iii) entering into agreements containing substantially the same terms and conditions hereof.
