Right to conduct activities

12.4.2

Subject always to clause 12, the Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that its shareholders that are Institutional Investors (as defined in the Articles), together with their respective Affiliates, (collectively, the “Fund Investors”, and each a “Fund Investor”) are professional investment funds, and as such invest in numerous portfolio companies, some of which may be deemed competitive with the Company’s business (as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted). The Company hereby agrees that, to the extent permitted under applicable law, no Fund Investor shall be liable to the Company for any claim arising out of, or based upon, (i) the investment by such Fund Investor in any entity competitive with the Company, or (ii) actions taken by any partner, officer or other representative of such Fund Investor to assist any such competitive company, whether or not such action was taken as a member of the board of directors of such competitive company or otherwise, and whether or not such action has a detrimental effect on the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve (x) any of the Fund Investors from liability associated with the unauthorized disclosure of the Company’s confidential information obtained pursuant to this Agreement, or (y) any director or officer of the Company from any liability associated with his or her fiduciary duties to the Company.

 

24


FINAL FORM

 

The Company acknowledges that the Fund Investors are in the business of venture capital investing and therefore review the business plans and related proprietary information of many enterprises, including enterprises which may have products or services which compete directly or indirectly with those of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude, create an obligation or duty, or in any way restrict the Fund Investors from evaluating or purchasing securities, including publicly traded securities, of a particular enterprise, or investing or participating in any particular enterprise, whether or not such enterprise has products or services which compete with those of the Company. The Company acknowledges that the Fund Investors, their Affiliates, and any of their respective representatives currently may be invested in, may invest in or may consider investments in public and private companies some of which may compete either directly or indirectly with the Company, and that the execution of this Agreement, the terms hereof and the access to confidential information hereunder shall in no way be construed to prohibit or restrict the Fund Investors, their Affiliates, or any of their respective representatives from maintaining, making or considering such investments or from otherwise operating in the ordinary course of business. Further, the Company understands and acknowledges that the confidential information may be used by the Fund Investors, their Affiliates, or any of their respective representatives in connection with evaluating investment opportunities, trading securities in the public markets and participating in private investment transactions, but specifically excluding disclosing or otherwise providing confidential information (or any derivatives, extracts or summaries thereof) to anyone other than the Fund Investors, their Affiliates, or any of their respective representatives in violation of this Agreement.

 

12.5

The Company

The Company shall keep secret and confidential and not disclose or divulge to any third party or cause any person to become aware of any information regrinding the terms of this Agreement, the Investment Agreement and the investment made by the Series C Investors pursuant to the Investment Agreement, save where such disclosure is necessary or desirable in the bona fide course of the Company’s business, or where such disclosure is made pursuant to any applicable Law, rule or regulation (including the rules of any investment exchange or Authority), or where the provisions of clauses 12.2.2 or 12.2.3 apply.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

20.1

Entire agreement

 

20.1.1

This Agreement together with the Shareholders’ Agreement and the Articles (together, the “Transaction Agreements”) constitutes the whole agreement between the Parties relating to its subject matter and supersedes and extinguishes any prior drafts, agreements, and undertakings, whether in writing or oral, relating to such subject matter, except to the extent that the same are repeated in the Transaction Agreements.

20.3

Variation and waiver

 

20.3.1

Any variation of this Agreement is valid only if it is in writing and signed by the Company and Shareholders comprising an Investor Majority Consent, in which event such change shall be binding against all of the Parties hereto, provided that:

 

  (a)

if such change would impose any new obligations on a Party or increase any existing obligation, the prior written consent of the affected Party to such change shall be specifically required; and

 

  (b)

if such change would:

 

  (i)

alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Shares or Series C Shares in a manner that is different than the effect on the rights, preferences or privileges of the other Preferred Shares; or

 

  (ii)

reclassify, alter or amend any existing security that is junior to or on parity with the Series B Shares or Series C Shares, if such reclassification, alteration or amendment would render such other security senior to or on parity with the Series B Shares or Series C Shares; or

 

27


FINAL FORM

 

  (iii)

increase or decrease the authorised number of Series B Shares or Series C Shares, then prior written Series B Investor Majority Consent to such variation or alteration shall be required in respect of the Series B Shares and prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Series C Shares shall be required in respect of the Series C Shares.

 

  (c)

if such change would:

 

  (i)

alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B-2 Shares in a manner that is different than the effect on the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Shares; or

 

  (ii)

reclassify, alter or amend any existing security that is junior to or on parity with the Series B-2 Shares, if such reclassification, alteration or amendment would render such other security senior to or on parity with Series B Shares; or

 

  (iii)

increase or decrease the authorised number of Series B-2 Shares unless the same increase or decrease is also being made to the number of Series B Shares,

then prior written Series B-2 Investor Majority Consent to such variation or alteration shall be required.

 

20.3.2

Any waiver of any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement is only effective if it is in writing and it applies only to the Party to whom the waiver is addressed and to the circumstances for which it is given and shall not prevent the Party who has given the waiver from subsequently relying on the provision it has waived.

 

20.3.3

A Party that waives a right, power, privilege or remedy in relation to one Party, or takes or fails to take any action against that Party, does not affect its rights, powers, privileges or remedies in relation to any other Party.

 

20.3.4

The failure to exercise or delay in exercising a right, power, privilege or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law does not impair or constitute a waiver of the right, power, privilege or remedy or an impairment of or a waiver of other rights or remedies. No single or partial exercise of a right, power, privilege or remedy provided by this Agreement or by Law shall prevent, preclude or impair the further exercise of the right, power, privilege or remedy or the exercise of another right, power, privilege or remedy.

 

20.3.5

The rights, powers, privileges and remedies contained in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of rights or remedies provided by Law.

Demand Registration

 

2.1

Request by Holders. Subject to the conditions of this paragraph 2.1, if the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of: (i) five (5) years after the date of this Agreement; or (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days following its IPO, a written request from the Holders of at least a majority or more of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company shall file a registration statement covering the registration of all or some of the Registrable Securities (a “Demand Notice”) in accordance with this paragraph 2.1, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such request is given, effect such a registration statement. Within ten (10) business days of the receipt of a Demand Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such proposed registration to all Holders (a “Request Notice”) and shall offer to include in such proposed registration any Registrable Securities requested to be included in such proposed registration by such Holders who respond in writing to the Company’s notice within thirty (30) days after delivery of such

 

47


  notice (which response shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days from the date of such request, such registration on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration under the Securities Act except in accordance with the following provisions:

 

  (A)

The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two (2) such demand registrations pursuant to this paragraph 2; and

 

  (B)

The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1 on Form S-1 or Form F-1 during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration; provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; provided, further, that if the Company does not effect such registration statement, the Company shall effect the registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1 on Form S-1 on the sixty-first (61st) day after its notice to the Holders describing the delay in this subparagraph B of this paragraph 2.1.

 

2.2

Underwriting. If the Holders initiating the registration request under this paragraph 2 (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 Demand Notice and the Company shall include such information in the Request Notice. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting 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 paragraph 2, 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 unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration including, without limitation, all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person, including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For purposes of the provision in this Subsection 2.3 concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

 

48


2.3

Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting registration pursuant to this paragraph 2, 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 because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the Demand Notice; provided, however, that the Company may not utilise this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided, further, that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such sixty (60) day period, other than an Excluded Registration.

 

2.4

Effectiveness of Demand Registration.

 

  (A)

A registration shall not be counted as “effected” for purposes of this paragraph 2 until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, in which case such withdrawn registration statement shall be counted as “effected” for the purposes of this paragraph 2 and as such the Holders shall forfeit their right to one demand registration statement pursuant to this paragraph 2 provided, that if such withdrawal is during a period the Company has deferred taking action to file a registration statement, then the Initiating Holders may withdraw their request for registration and such registration statement will not be counted as effected.

 

  (B)

A registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in paragraph 2.2, fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding Excluded Registrations), and shall 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 it shall within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this paragraph 3 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with paragraph 5.

 

49


3.2

Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this paragraph 3 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 paragraph 3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated 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; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration including, without limitation, all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person, including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For purposes of the provision in this Subsection 3.2 concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and Affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all persons included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence. A registration shall not be counted as “effected” if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter’s cutback provisions in this paragraph 3.2, fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

 

3.3

Not Demand Registration. Registration pursuant to this paragraph 3 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in paragraph 2 above. There shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this paragraph 3.

 

4.

Form F-3 and Form S-3 Registration

If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form F-3 or S-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from Holders of at least 20% of all Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company will:

 

50


4.1

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

 

4.2

Registration. As soon as practicable and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date the written request is delivered to the Company, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within twenty (20) days after the Company provides the notice contemplated by paragraph 4.1 provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this paragraph 4:

 

  (A)

if Form F-3 or Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;

 

  (B)

if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than US$5,000,000;

 

  (C)

if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form F-3 or Form S-3 Registration to be effected because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form F-3 or Form S-3 registration statement no more than once during any twelve (12) month period for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this paragraph 4; provided that the Company shall not register any of its other shares during such sixty (60) day period other than an Excluded Registration; or

 

  (D)

during the period that is thirty (30) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration; provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; provided, further, that if the Company does not effect such registration statement, the Company shall effect such registration on the thirty-first (31st) day after its notice to the Holders describing the delay in this paragraph 4.2.

 

4.3

Not Demand Registration. Form F-3 or Form S-3 registrations shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in paragraph 2 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 paragraph 4; provided that the Company shall not be required to file more than two (2) Form F-3 or Form S-3 registration statements in any twelve (12) month period.

 

4.4

Underwriting. If the Holders of Registrable Securities requesting registration under this paragraph 4 intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, the provisions of paragraph 2.2 shall apply to such registration.

 

51


5.

Expenses

 

5.1

All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to paragraphs 2, 3 or 4, including in connection with filings, qualification fees, printers’ fees and accounting fees (but excluding Selling Expenses and expenses for the special counsel of the selling Holders that exceed US$100,000) shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to paragraphs 2, 3 or 4 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company or persons or entities that are not Holders) of all Selling Expenses or other amounts payable to underwriter(s) or brokers, in connection with such offering by the Holders.

 

6.

Obligations of the Company

 

6.1

Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

  (A)

Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, in the case of Registrable Securities registered under Form F-3 or Form S-3 in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act or a successor rule, for a period of up to one hundred and twenty (120) days; provided, however, that: (i) such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period any Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of the underwriter(s); and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form F-3 or Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such one hundred and twenty (120) day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold.

 

  (B)

Amendments and Supplements. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.

 

  (C)

Prospectuses. Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration.

 

  (D)

Blue Sky. Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.

 

  (E)

Underwriting. In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form (including without limitation in respect of comfort letter(s) and legal opinion(s)), with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering.

 

52


  (F)

Notification. Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement of: (i) the time when such registration statement has been declared effective; (ii) after such registration statement becomes effective, of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus; (iii) when a prospectus relating to a registration statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, the time when a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; (iv) the issuance of any stop order by the SEC in respect of such registration statement; and (v) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

 

  (G)

Listing. Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

 

  (H)

CUSIP Number. Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

 

  (I)

Inspection. Promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any underwriter(s) participating in any registration of Registrable Securities made under this Agreement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith.

 

  (J)

Withdrawal of Suspensions. Use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction in in which such securities are qualified;

 

  (K)

Opportunity to Comment. Before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, to the extent the Company is reasonably able to do so, furnish copies of such documents to each participating Holder, any underwriter(s) or other distributor(s) identified by any Holder and counsel for the Holders and for such underwriter(s) or distributor(s) a reasonable period prior to filing and consider in good faith any comments provided by any such persons.

 

6.2

Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to paragraphs 2, 3 or 4 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the Registration of their Registrable Securities.

 

6.3

10b5-1 Trading Program. The Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its insider trading policy shall provide that the Company’s directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

53


7.

Indemnification

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under paragraphs 2, 3 or 4:

 

7.1

By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its partners, members, stockholders, officers, directors, legal counsel, investment advisors, accountants, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or applicable securities 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”):

 

  (A)

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;

 

  (B)

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

 

  (C)

any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any United States federal or state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any United States federal or any applicable securities laws in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;

and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, its partner, member, stockholder, officer, director, legal counsel, investment advisor, accountants, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph 7.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, or any partner, member, stockholder, officer, director, legal counsel, investment advisor, accountant, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.

 

7.2

By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will, severally and not jointly, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, directors, officers, legal counsel or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, legal counsel, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable securities law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such

 

54


  Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph 7.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this paragraph 7.2 exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which the applicable Violation arises, except in the case of fraud or wilful misconduct by such Holder.

 

7.3

Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this paragraph 7 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 paragraph 7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defence thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this paragraph 7 to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this paragraph 7.

 

7.4

Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) any indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this paragraph 7 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 paragraph 7 provides for indemnification in such case; or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any indemnified party in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this paragraph 7; then, and in each such case, the indemnified party and the indemnifying party will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case: (A) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, except in the case of fraud or wilful misconduct by such Holder; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to

 

55


  contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to any of the paragraphs 7, exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of fraud or wilful misconduct by such Holder

 

7.5

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control. Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this paragraph 7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

7.6

Survival; Consents to Judgments and Settlements. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this paragraph 7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement, regardless of the expiration of any statutes of limitation or extensions of such statutes. No indemnifying party, in the defence of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. In addition, if any settlement contains any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party, then the consent of such indemnified party is required prior to entry into such settlement.

 

8.

No Registration Rights to Third Parties

From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of [a majority] of the Registrable Securities Then Outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would (i) allow such holder or prospective holder to include such securities in any registration unless, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the number of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included; or (ii) allow such holder or prospective holder to initiate a demand for registration of any securities held by such holder or prospective holder; provided that this limitation shall not apply to Registrable Securities acquired by any additional Holder that becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

9.

Market Stand-Off

Each Holder agrees that, so long as it holds any voting securities of the Company, upon request by the Company or the underwriters managing the Company’s IPO, it will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any securities of the Company (other than those permitted to be included in the registration and other transfers to affiliates permitted by law) or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale of securities, in each case held by such Holder immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for the Company’s IPO without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for a period of time specified by the representative of the underwriters not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration statement covering such IPO. The foregoing provision of this paragraph 9 shall not apply to the sale of any securities of the Company to an underwriter pursuant to any underwriting agreement, and shall only be applicable to the Holders if all officers, directors and holders of one per cent (1%) or more of the Company’s outstanding share capital enter into similar agreements, and if the Company with Investor Majority Consent or any

 

56


underwriter releases any officer, director or holder of one per cent (1%) or more of the Company’s outstanding share capital from his or her sale restrictions so undertaken, then each Holder shall be notified prior to such release and shall itself be simultaneously released to the same proportional extent. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph 9 shall only apply to the first such 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 sold pursuant to such registration statement. The Company shall require all future acquirers of the Company’s securities holding at least one per cent (1%) of the then outstanding share capital of the Company to execute prior to its initial public offering a market stand-off agreement containing substantially similar provisions as those contained in this paragraph 9.

 

10.

Transfer of Registration Rights

The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities that: (i) is an Affiliate, nominee, subsidiary, parent, partner, limited partner, retired partner, retired limited partner, employee, member, retired member, shareholder or related party of a Holder; (ii) is a Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder; or (iii) after such assignment or transfer, holds at least 250,000 shares of Registrable Securities (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other recapitalisations), provided that the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned, and, provided further, that such transferee agrees to become a signatory to the Applicable Definitive Documents.

 

11.

Rule 144 Reporting

With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3, after such time as a public market exists for the Ordinary Shares, the Company agrees to:

 

11.1

Make and keep adequate public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

 

11.2

File with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

 

11.3

So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request: (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the Company’s IPO), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or its qualification as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 or Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies); (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company; and (iii) such other reports, documents and information regarding the Company as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to Form F-3 or Form S-3.

 

57


12.

Restrictions on Transfer

 

12.1

The Registrable Securities shall not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred, and the Company shall not recognize and shall issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to any such sale, pledge, or transfer, except upon the conditions specified in this Agreement, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. A transferring Holder will cause any proposed purchaser, pledgee, or transferee of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement.

 

12.2

Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing (i) the Registrable Securities and (ii) any other securities issued in respect of the Registrable Securities, upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or similar event ((i) and (ii) together, the “Restricted Securities”), shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of paragraph 12.3) be notated with a legend substantially in the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

The Holders consent to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this paragraph 12.

 

12.3

The holder of such Restricted Securities, by acceptance of ownership thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Schedule 5. Before any proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction, the Holder thereof shall give notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such sale, pledge, or transfer. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied at such Holder’s expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Holder to the Company. The Company will not require such a legal opinion or “no action” letter (x) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144; or (y) in any transaction in which such Holder distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate of such Holder for no consideration; provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this paragraph 12. Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall be notated with, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in paragraph 12.2, except that such certificate instrument, or book entry shall not be notated with such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

 

58


13.

Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Schedule 5.

 

14.

Termination of Registration Rights

The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 herein, shall terminate on the earlier to occur of: (i) the closing of a Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the Articles other than a Liquidation Event undertaken in connection with effecting an IPO; and (ii) the fifth (5th) anniversary of an IPO.

At any time prior to, and in contemplation of, an IPO, with, in the case of an IPO that is a Qualified Listing, the consent of the Board and, in the case of an IPO that is not a Qualified Listing, with the consent of the Board and upon receipt of an Investor Majority Consent in accordance with the requirements of clause 7.1 and Part A of Schedule 2, the Company may carry out any actions as may be necessary, appropriate or desirable to liquidate, dissolve or wind up, merge, reorganise, recapitalise or otherwise restructure any member of its Group, in each case, so as to optimise the corporate structure of its Group as is appropriate in light of tax, legal or other considerations provided that any such Restructuring does not (i) abrogate any Shareholder’s rights provided for in this Agreement or the Articles or (ii) result in any material adverse tax impact upon any Investor.

 

2.

Determination of structure and participation

The Company, acting by decision of the Board and in consultation with the investment bank advising the Company in respect of the IPO, shall approve the selection of the managing underwriters.

 

3.

Co-operation

 

3.1

The Company shall, and shall procure that each other member of the Group from time to time shall, take all steps reasonably necessary, appropriate or desirable to effect the IPO and to expedite or facilitate the disposition of all securities included therein, including cooperation in the preparation of any offering document, providing access to the books and records of the Group, Group’s auditors and management, and participation in road shows and other marketing efforts as determined by the Board. If, at any time after determining to pursue an IPO and prior to the completion of such IPO, such IPO is terminated or otherwise not completed, the Company shall give written notice of such termination or failure to complete to each Investor, but none of the Shareholders shall be relieved from their obligations in respect of another IPO as set out in this schedule.

 

3.2

In the event of an IPO, each Shareholder shall fully cooperate with the Company, including coordination with respect to any applicable laws or regulations in any relevant jurisdiction relating to publicly listed or traded securities.

 

3.3

Each Shareholder shall take, and shall instruct its representative(s), nominee(s) or designee(s), as the case may be, on the Board or any other board (or any committee thereof) to take any and all action within its power and in accordance with applicable law as may be necessary, appropriate or desirable to effect, and to cause the Company and each other member of its Group to take any and all action as may be necessary, appropriate or desirable to effect, the transactions described in this schedule.

 

3.4

Subject to, in respect of a Qualified Listing, the prior consent of the Board and, in respect of an IPO that is not a Qualified Listing, receipt of Investor Majority Consent and the prior consent of the Board, the parties agree to amend, supplement or otherwise modify this Agreement as may be necessary to comply with the laws, regulations and rules of the relevant regulatory authority and the rules of the securities exchange in connection with an IPO.

 

60


4.

Execution of underwriting agreement and lock-up agreement

In the event of an IPO, each Shareholder agrees that it would have to execute a customary underwriting agreement with the managing underwriters of such offering (taking into account market practice at the time of the IPO), which, in the case of a Qualified Listing, is approved by the Board and in the case of an IPO that is not a Qualified Listing, is approved by the Board and Investor Majority Consent. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in connection with any such agreement, the same terms and shall apply to each Shareholder equally. The parties agree that in connection with such underwriting agreement they will also agree to be subject to a market standoff agreement according to the terms of Schedule 5 of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS whereof this Agreement has been executed and delivered as a Deed on the date first before written.
