in full and the Investors do not exercise their Right of Second Refusal or their Co-Sale Right in
full with respect to the sale of the Shares subject to the Transfer Notice and the Co-Sale Notice,
the Transferring Founder may, not later than 60 days following delivery to the Investors of the
Co-Sale Notice conclude a transfer of all of the Shares not subject to such exercise and covered by
the Transfer Notice on terms and conditions not more favorable to the transferee than those
described in the Transfer Notice. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions more
11
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
favorable to the transferee than those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any
subsequent proposed transfer of any Shares by the Transferring Founder, shall again be subject to
the Right of First Refusal, Right of Second Refusal and Co-Sale Right and shall require compliance
by the Transferring Founder with the procedures described in this Section 5.
5.5 No Adverse Effect. The Investors’ exercise or non-exercise of the Right of Second Refusal
or the Co-Sale Right shall not adversely affect their rights to participate in subsequent transfers
of Shares by the Transferring Founder subject to the provisions of this Section 5.
5.6 Exempt Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Right of First Refusal, Right of
Second Refusal and the Co-Sale Right shall not apply to: (a) any transfer of Shares to the spouse,
parent, children or sibling of the Transferring Founder, or to trusts for the benefit of such
persons or the Transferring Founder; (b) any transfer to another Founder or to an Affiliate of a
Founder (including, without limitation, any current or former shareholder, member or partner of a
Founder); (c) any sale to the public pursuant to an effective Registration Statement; (d) any bona
fide gift to any charitable organization as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code (or similar foreign statute or regulation), (e) up to a cumulative aggregate over the term of
this Agreement of seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the shares held by a Transferring Founder
after the sale of Common Shares contemplated by the Share Transfer Agreements, or (f) any transfer
of Common Shares pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreements (collectively, the “Exempt Transfers”);
provided, that, in any of the above cases: (x) the transferring party shall inform the Company of
the transfer prior to effecting it and be bound by lockup provisions substantially similar to those
set forth in Section 14.6 hereof; (y) in the case of a transfer described in clauses (a) and (b)
only, the transferee shall furnish the parties with a written agreement to be bound by and comply
with all provisions of this Section 5; and (z) in the case of a transfer described in clauses (a),
(b) and (e) only, the transfer of shares shall have been approved by the Board of Directors.
Subject to Section 17, the transferred shares shall remain “Shares”, and the transferee shall be
treated as a “Founder” for purposes of this Agreement.
5.7 Prohibited Transfer. In the event the Transferring Founder transfers (or agrees to
transfer) any Shares in contravention of the Right of First Refusal, Right of Second Refusal or the
Co-Sale Right set forth in this Article 5 (a “Prohibited Transfer”), such transfer shall be null
and void and the Company shall not recognize such transfer and will not effect the transfer on the
Company’s share records.
5.8 Share Status. Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to this Section 5 shall, on
acquisition by the Company, cease to form part of the issued share capital but shall remain part of
the Company’s authorized share capital available for reissue.
6. Termination of Covenants. The covenants set forth in Sections 2, 3 and 5 of this Agreement
shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) a
Qualified IPO or (b) the consummation of a Liquidation Event.
7. Registration Rights. The registration rights and covenants of Holders set forth in
Sections 8 through 15 relate primarily to registration of securities in the United States. In the
event that the Company effects a Qualified IPO in a jurisdiction outside of the United States, the
12
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
Shareholders agree for themselves and their transferees that the Company shall not be required
to register the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, but may
provide instead (to the extent available) comparable Registration rights and covenants in the
jurisdiction in which it made its initial public offering.
8. Demand Registration.
8.1 Request for Registration on Form Other Than Form F-3. Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, in the event that the Company receives from the Initiating Holders at any time beginning
six months after the effective date of the Registration Statement pertaining to the Company’s
initial underwritten public offering of the Common Shares of the Company that is effected pursuant
to a Registration Statement filed with, and declared effective by, either the Commission under the
Securities Act or another Governmental or Regulatory Authority for a Registration in a jurisdiction
other than the United States (other than either a public offering limited solely to employees of
the Company or an offering pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or a similar provision in
a non-U.S. jurisdiction) covering the offer and sale of Common Shares of the Company for the
account of the Company, a written request that the Company effect any Registration with respect to
all or a part of the Registrable Securities on a form other than Form F-3 (or any successor form to
Form F-3, or any comparable form for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States)
for an offering of at least 35% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (or any lesser
percent if the reasonable anticipated offering price to the public, net of Selling Expenses, would
exceed $10,000,000), the Company shall (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed
Registration to all other Holders, and (ii) as soon as practicable, use its best efforts to effect
Registration of the Registrable Securities specified in the request, together with any Registrable
Securities of any Holder in that request as are specified in a written request given within 20 days
after written notice from the Company. The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to
effect any Registration pursuant to this Section 8.1 after the Company has effected two (2)
Registrations pursuant to this Section 8.1. The provisions of Section 8.4 shall be applicable to
the Registration initiated under this Section 8.1. The Company shall not be required to effect
more than one Registration pursuant to this Section 8.1 in any 12-month period. If the sale of all
of the securities to be included pursuant to a Registration Statement is not consummated for any
reason other than due to the action or inaction of the Initiating Holders, such Registration shall
not be deemed to constitute one of the registration rights granted pursuant to this Section 8.1.
8.2 Request for Registration on Form F-3. If the Initiating Holders request that the Company
file a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (or any successor form to Form F-3, or any comparable
form for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States) for a public offering of
shares of Registrable Securities, the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of
which, net of Selling Expenses, would not be less than US$1,000,000, and the Company is a
registrant entitled to use Form F-3 or comparable form to Register the Registrable Securities for
an offering, the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to cause those Registrable Securities to
be Registered for the offering on that form and to cause those Registrable Securities to be
qualified in jurisdictions as the Holder or Holders may reasonably request. The Company shall not
be required to effect more than two Registrations pursuant to this Section 8.2 in any twelve (12)
month period.
13
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
8.3 Underwriting in Demand Registration.
(a) Notice of Underwriting. If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable
Securities covered by their demand registration request by means of an underwriting, they shall so
advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 8, and the Company
shall include that information in the written notice referred to in Section 8.1 or 8.2 of this
Agreement. The right of any Holder to Registration pursuant to this Section 8 shall be conditioned
upon that Holder’s agreement to participate in the underwriting and the inclusion of that Holder’s
Registrable Securities in the underwriting.
(b) Inclusion of Other Holders in Demand Registration. If the Company, officers or directors
of the Company holding Common Shares other than Registrable Securities, or holders of securities
other than Registrable Securities, request inclusion in the Registration, the Initiating Holders,
to the extent they deem advisable and consistent with the goals of that Registration, may, in their
sole discretion, on behalf of all Holders, offer to any or all of the Company, those officers or
directors, and the holders of securities other than Registrable Securities that their securities be
included in the underwriting and may condition that offer on the acceptance by those persons of the
terms of this Section 8. If, however, the number of shares so included exceeds the number of
shares of Registrable Securities included by all Holders, the Registration shall be treated as
governed by Section 9 of this Agreement rather than this Section 8, and it shall not count as a
Registration for purposes of this Section 8.
(c) Selection of Underwriter in Demand Registration. The Company shall (together with all
Holders proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting) enter into an
underwriting agreement with the representative (“Underwriter’s Representative”) of the underwriter
or underwriters selected for the underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities being Registered by the Initiating Holders and agreed to by the Company.
(d) Marketing Limitation in Demand Registration. In the event the Underwriter’s
Representative advises the Initiating Holders in writing that market factors (including, without
limitation, the aggregate number of Common Shares requested to be Registered, the general condition
of the market, and the status of the persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the
Registration) require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company
shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten
thereto, and the number of shares to be included in the Registration shall be allocated among all
other Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable
Securities entitled to inclusion in that Registration held by those Holders at the time of filing
the Registration Statement. No Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the
underwriting by reason of this Section 8.3(d) shall be included in that Registration Statement.
(e) Right of Withdrawal in Demand Registration. If any Holder of Registrable Securities, or a
holder of other securities entitled (upon request) to be included in that Registration, disapproves
of the terms of the underwriting, that person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to
the Company, the Underwriter’s Representative, and the Initiating Holders delivered at least three
days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. The securities so withdrawn shall
also be withdrawn from the Registration Statement. If
14
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
securities are so withdrawn from the Registration, and if the number of securities to be
included in such Registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to
Section 8.3(d), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who, but for the limitation under
Section 8.3(d), have retained rights to include securities in the Registration the right to include
additional securities in the Registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number so withdrawn,
with such securities to be allocated among such Holders requesting additional inclusion in
proportion to the respective amounts of securities (including Registrable Securities) entitled to
inclusion in such Registration held by those holders at the time of filing of the Registration
Statement.
8.4 Right of Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to
file a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 8:
(a) if the Company, within ten days of the receipt of the request of any Initiating Holder(s),
gives notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a Registration Statement with the
Commission (or comparable regulatory agency for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the
United States) within 60 days of receipt of that request (other than a registration of securities
in a Rule 145 transaction or an offering, solely to employees), provided that the Company is
actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause that Registration Statement to
become effective;
(b) within six months immediately following the effective date of any Registration Statement
pertaining to the securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145
transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan) for which the Holders were entitled to the
Registration rights set forth in Section 8 or Section 9; or
(c) if the Company furnishes to those 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 Directors
it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for a Registration Statement
to be filed in the near future.
In each of the above instances, the Company’s obligation to use its best efforts to file a
Registration Statement in response to the Holders’ request therefor shall be deferred for a period
not to exceed 120 days from the receipt of such request; provided that the Company shall not
exercise the right contained in this Section 8.4 more than once in any twelve month period and
provided further, that, in the case of a Company delay pursuant to clause (b) or (c) only, during
such 120-day period the Company shall not file a Registration Statement with respect to the public
offering of securities of the Company.
8.5 Other Securities Laws in Demand Registration. In the event of any Registration pursuant
to this Section 8, the Company shall exercise its best efforts to Register and qualify the
securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities laws of any other
jurisdictions as shall be reasonably appropriate for the distribution of the securities; provided,
however, that: (a) the Company shall not be required to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such state or jurisdiction; and (b) notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified
imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification
15
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
of the securities be borne by selling shareholders, the expenses shall be payable pro rata by
the selling shareholders.
9. Piggyback Registration.
9.1 Notice of Piggyback Registration and Inclusion of Registrable Securities. Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, if the Company decides to Register any of its Common Shares (either for
its own account or the account of a security holder or holders exercising their respective demand
registration rights) on a form that would be suitable for a Registration involving solely
Registrable Securities, the Company shall: (a) promptly give each Holder written notice thereof
(which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify
those securities under the applicable Blue Sky or other securities laws); and (b) include in that
Registration (and any related qualification under Blue Sky laws or other compliance), and in any
underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request
delivered to the Company by any Holder within 20 days after delivery of the written notice from the
Company, subject to Section 9.2 hereof.
9.2 Underwriting, in Piggyback Registration.
(a) Notice of Underwriting in Piggyback Registration. If the Registration of which the
Company gives notice involves an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of
the written notice given pursuant to Section 9.1. In this event, the right of any Holder to
Registration shall be conditioned upon the underwriting and the inclusion of that Holder’s
Registrable Securities in the underwriting, to the extent provided in this Section 9. All Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting shall (together with the Company
and the other holders distributing their securities through the underwriting) enter into an
underwriting agreement with the Underwriter’s Representative for that offering. The Holders shall
have no right to participate in the selection of the underwriters for an offering pursuant to this
Section 9.
(b) Marketing Limitation in Piggyback Registration. In the event the Underwriter’s
Representative advises the Holders seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this
Section 9 in writing that market factors (including, without limitation, the aggregate number of
Common Shares requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of
the persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the
number of shares to be underwritten, the Underwriter’s Representative (subject to the allocation
priority set forth in Section 9.2(c)) may:
(i) in the case of the Company’s initial public offering, exclude some or all Registrable
Securities from the Registration and underwriting; and
(ii) in the case of any Registered public offering subsequent to the Company’s initial public
offering, limit the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration
and underwriting so that the number of Registrable Securities so included is not less than 30% of
the securities included in the Registration.
(c) Allocation of Shares in Piggyback Registration. No Registrable Securities shall be
excluded from any Registration unless all other shareholders’ shares (other than the
16
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
Company) are first entirely excluded from such Registration. In the event that the
Underwriter’s Representative limits the number of shares to be included in a Registration pursuant
to Section 9.2(b), the number of shares to be included in the Registration shall be allocated among
all Holders requesting and legally entitled to include securities in that Registration, in
proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which the
Holders would otherwise be entitled to include in the Registration. No Registrable Securities or
other securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of this Section 9.2(c) shall be included
in the Registration Statement.
(d) Withdrawal in Piggyback Registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any
underwriting, the Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the
Underwriter’s Representative delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the
Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwriting
shall be withdrawn from the Registration.
10. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with
Registrations pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 9, shall be borne by the Company. All Registration
Expenses incurred in connection with any other Registration, qualification, or compliance, shall be
apportioned among the Holders and other holders, including the Company, of the securities so
Registered on the basis of the number of shares Registered.
11. Termination of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to Register
securities granted under this Agreement and to receive notices pursuant to Section 9 of this
Agreement, shall terminate on the earliest of: (a) the date that is five (5) years after the
Company’s Qualified IPO and (b) as to any Holder, such time as all Registrable Securities held by
such Holder can be sold in any three (3) month period without registration under Commission Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”).
12. Registration Procedures and Obligations. Whenever required under this Agreement to effect
the Registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission (or comparable regulatory agency for a Registration
in a jurisdiction other than the United States) a Registration Statement with respect to those
Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to
become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
Registered thereunder, keep the Registration Statement effective for up to 120 days;
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission (or comparable regulatory agency for a Registration
in a jurisdiction other than the United States), amendments and supplements to that Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary
to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act (or other applicable law in a jurisdiction
other than the United States) with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the
Registration Statement;
17
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
(c) Furnish to the Holders the number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, required by the Securities Act (or other applicable law in a jurisdiction other than
the United States), and any other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them that are contained in such Prospectus;
(d) Use its reasonable best efforts to Register and qualify the securities covered by the
Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of any other 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 file a general consent
to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, and provided further that in the event
any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that
expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the securities be borne by selling
shareholders, those expenses shall be payable pro rata by selling shareholders;
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement;
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the
happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement,
as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
the light of the circumstances then existing;
(g) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities Registered pursuant
to the Registration Statement and a CUSIP number for all those Registrable Securities, in each case
not later than the effective date of the Registration;
(h) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting Registration of Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Agreement, on the date such Registrable Securities are delivered to the
underwriter for sale in connection with a Registration pursuant to this Agreement, (i) an opinion,
dated the date of the sale, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of the
Registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority of the Holders requesting Registration,
and (ii) a letter dated the date of the sale, from the independent certified public accountants of
the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public
accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a
majority of the Holders requesting Registration, addressed to the underwriters; and
(i) Take all reasonable action necessary to list the Registrable Securities on the primary
exchange upon which the Company’s securities are then traded.
18
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
13. Information Furnished by Holder. It shall be a condition precedent of the Company’s
obligations under this Agreement that each Holder of Registrable Securities included in any
Registration furnish to the Company information regarding the Holder, the Registrable Securities
held by such Holder, and the intended method of disposition of such securities by the Holder as the
Company may reasonably request.
14. Indemnification.
14.1 Company’s Indemnification of Holders. To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall
indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors, and constituent partners, legal counsel for
the Holders, and each person controlling that Holder, with respect to which Registration,
qualification, or compliance of Registrable Securities has been effected pursuant to this
Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter against all
claims, losses, damages, liabilities, or actions in respect thereof to which they may become
subject (collectively, “Damages”) to the extent the Damages arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any preliminary or
final prospectus or other document (including any Registration Statement) or amendment and
supplement thereto incident to any Registration, qualification, or compliance, or are based on any
omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by
the Company of any rule or regulation under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, applicable Blue Sky
laws, or other applicable laws in the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the
Registration occurred, applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the
Company in connection with such Registration, qualification, or compliance, and the Company shall
reimburse each Holder, each underwriter, and each person who controls any officers, directors,
Holder or underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action; provided, however,
that the indemnity contained in this Section 14.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of
any claims for Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld); and provided, further, that the Company will not be liable in
any case to the extent that any Damages arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
omission (or alleged untrue statement or omission) based upon written information furnished to the
Company by a Holder, underwriter, or controlling person and stated in writing to be for use in
connection with the offering of securities of the Company.
14.2 Holder’s Indemnification of Company. To the extent permitted by law, each Holder shall,
if Registrable Securities held by that Holder are included in the securities as to which
Registration, qualification or, compliance is being effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify
the Company, each of its directors and officers, each legal counsel and independent accountant of
the Company, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by the Registration
Statement, each person who controls the Company or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act, and each other Holder selling securities under the Registration, each of its officers,
directors, and constituent partners, and each person controlling the other Holder, against all
Damages which they may suffer that arise out of or based upon any untrue statement (or alleged
untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, preliminary or final
prospectus, offering circular, or other document, or any omission
19
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
(or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Holder of any rule
or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, applicable Blue Sky laws, or
other applicable laws in the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Registration
occurred, applicable to the Holder and relating to action or inaction required of the Holder in
connection with such Registration, qualification, or compliance, and in each case to the extent and
only to the extent that such actions occur in reliance on and in conformity with written
information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such Registration, and
shall reimburse the Company, those Holders, each of its directors, officers, each person who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other Holder, each of its
officers, directors and constituent partners, and each person controlling the other Holders for any
legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or
defending any claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that the untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged
omission) is made in that Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by that Holder
and stated in writing to be specifically for use in connection with the offering of securities of
the Company, provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 14.2 shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of that
Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and provided that no such settlement
shall be effected without such Holder’s consent unless such settlement includes an unconditional
release of such Holder from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding
or claim and provided, further, that each Holder’s liability under this Section 14.2 shall not
exceed net proceeds (less underwriting discounts and selling commissions) received by such Holder
from the offering of securities made in connection with that Registration.
14.3 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 14 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim is
to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 14, notify the indemnifying party in
writing, of the commencement thereof and generally summarize the action. The indemnifying party
shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense of that claim; provided, however,
that the indemnifying party shall be entitled to select counsel for the defense of the claim with
the approval of any parties entitled to indemnification, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The indemnified party shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the
defense of any such action provided further, however, that if either party reasonably determines
that there may be a conflict between the position of the Company and the Holders in conducting the
defense of the action, suit, or proceeding, then counsel for that party shall be entitled, at the
indemnifying party’s expense, to conduct the defense to the extent reasonably determined by counsel
to be necessary to protect the interests of that party. The failure to notify an indemnifying
party promptly of the commencement of any action, if prejudicial to the ability of the indemnifying
party to defend the action, shall relieve the indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced, of
any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 14, but the omission to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve the party of any liability that the party may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 14.
20
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
14.4 Indemnification Unavailable. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 14 is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to
any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations; provided, however, that no contribution by any Holder, when combined with
any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 14.2, shall exceed the net proceeds from the
offering received by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.
14.5 Conflicts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that provisions on
indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection
with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions
in the underwriting agreement shall control.
14.6 Lock-up. Each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell, pledge, hypothecate,
hedge, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise transfer or
dispose of any Registrable Securities or other securities of the Company without the prior written
consent of the Company and the Underwriter’s Representative for a period of time (not to exceed 180
days) following the effective date of a Registration Statement of the Company filed under the
Securities Act (or other applicable law in a jurisdiction other than the United States in which a
Registration occurred) in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. The obligations
of Holders under this Section 14.6 shall be conditioned upon similar agreements being in effect
with each officer, director, or holder of more than 3% of the fully-diluted share capital of the
Company. Each Holder hereby agrees to execute any lock-up agreement provided to it by the
Underwriter’s Representative containing substantially the terms of this Section 14.6.
14.7 Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this
Section 14 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration
Statement under this Agreement or otherwise.
15. Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to Holders the benefits
of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder
to sell securities of the Company to the public without Registration or pursuant to a Registration
on Form F-3, the Company agrees that, if the Company effects a Qualified IPO in the Untied States,
it shall:
21
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
(a) use its reasonable best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after 90 days after the effective date
of the first Registration Statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the
public;
(b) take all reasonable action including the voluntary Registration of its Common Shares under
Section 12 of the Exchange Act, necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form F-3 for the sale of

(c) use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports
and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
(d) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any
Registrable Securities, promptly upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has
complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after 90 days after the effective
date of the first Registration Statement filed by the Company) or of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to those reporting requirements), or that it

access to any material, records or other information if the Board of Directors believes, in its
sole discretion, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client
privilege, to protect confidential or proprietary information, to avoid any perceived conflict of
interest arising out of such Investor’s investments or relationships with other Persons, or for
other similar reasons.
22

prospective holder (a) to include any of such securities in any registration filed under Section 8
or Section 9 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder

included therein or (b) to initiate a demand registration.
16.7 Market Stand-Off. The Company shall cause all future officers, directors, and employees
of, and consultants to, the Company and its Subsidiaries who purchase, or receive options to

terminating upon the Company’s Qualified IPO.
17. Transfer of Rights. The rights under Sections 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9 of this Agreement may be
assigned by any Holder to a transferee or assignee of any Preferred Shares or Registrable
Securities acquiring at least 25% of the total shares of the Holder’s Registrable Securities,
provided that such assignee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement as if it
were a Shareholder and/or Holder for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the limitation
set forth in the foregoing sentence respecting the minimum number of shares which must be
transferred, any Holder which is a partnership may transfer that Holder’s Registration rights to
that Holder’s constituent partners without restriction as to the number or percentage of shares
acquired by any constituent partner.
Any transfers or assignments of shares in the Company may be made by a written instrument
signed by the transferor or assignor and containing the name and address of the transferee or
assignee, but in the absence of such written instrument of transfer or assignment, the directors of
the Company may accept such evidence of a transfer or assignment of shares as they consider
appropriate. The Company shall, upon application of the transferor, assignor, transferee or
assignee of a registered share in the Company in accordance with the foregoing, enter in the share
register the name and address of the transferee or assignee of a share and, upon the entering of
such transferee’s or assignee’s name on the share register, the Company shall
24
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
treat any such transferee or assignee of any registered shares of the Company as a Member (as
defined in the Amended Articles of Association, as may be amended from time to time)
18. Drag-Along Agreement.
(a) In the event the Board of Directors, the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series C
Preferred Shares (voting as a separate class) and the holders of a majority of the outstanding
Series B Preferred Shares (voting as a separate class) (such holders of Series B Preferred Shares
and Series C Preferred Shares, the “Drag-Along Holders”) shall vote for, or otherwise consent to, a
consolidation or amalgamation of the Company, a sale of at least a majority of the outstanding
shares of the Company (including Common Shares and Preferred Shares) or the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or an equity financing transaction of the Company (a
“Corporate Transaction”), then:
(i) at every meeting of the shareholders of the Company called with respect to any of the
following, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by
written consent of the shareholders of the Company with respect to any of the following, each other
holder of Series C Preferred Shares and each holder of Series A Preferred Shares and Series B
Preferred Shares (collectively, the “Remaining Preferred Holders”) shall vote all Preferred Shares
of the Company (or Common Shares issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares) that such Remaining
Preferred Holder then holds in favor of approval of the Corporate Transaction and any matter that
could reasonably be expected to facilitate the Corporate Transaction, and against any proposal for
any recapitalization, amalgamation, sale of assets or other business combination (other than the
Corporate Transaction) between the Company and any person or entity other than the party or parties
to the Corporate Transaction or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any
covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the
definitive agreement(s) related to the Corporate Transaction or which could result in any of the
conditions to the Company’s obligations under such agreement(s) not being fulfilled;
(ii) if the Corporate Transaction is structured as (A) an amalgamation, consolidation or sale
of assets, each Remaining Preferred Holder shall waive any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights,
right of judicial review, or similar rights in connection with such amalgamation, consolidation or
sale of assets, or (B) a sale of stock, each Remaining Preferred Holder shall agree to sell all of
the Shares and rights to acquire shares of capital stock of the Company held by such Remaining
Preferred Holder on the terms and conditions approved by the Drag-Along Holders; and
(iii) each Remaining Preferred Holder shall take all necessary actions in connection with the
consummation of the Corporate Transaction as requested by the Company or the Drag-Along Holders and
shall, if requested by the Drag-Along Holders, execute and deliver any agreements prepared in
connection with such Corporate Transaction which agreements are executed by the Drag-Along Holders.
(b) Each Remaining Preferred Holder hereby grants to any designee of the Board of Directors of
the Company an irrevocable proxy, coupled with an interest, to vote all of such Remaining Preferred
Holder’s Shares and to take such other actions to the extent necessary
25
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
to carry out the provisions of this Section 18 in the event of any breach or imminent breach
of this Section 18 by such Remaining Preferred Holder, or its affiliates, successors, custodians or
assigns. The Company and the Holders each agree and acknowledge that monetary damages would not
adequately compensate an injured party for the breach of this Section 18 by any party and this
Section 18 shall be specifically enforceable. Further, each party hereto waives any claim or
defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach.
