Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Company shall, at any time after the earlier of (i) expiry of five (5) years following the Closing or (ii) expiry of six (6) months following the effective date of a registration statement for an IPO, receive a written request from any Holder of at least 30% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act (other than Form F-3 or Form S-3) covering the registration of a minimum 20% of the Registrable Securities of such requesting Holders (or any lesser percentage if the anticipated gross proceeds to the Company from the registration shall exceed US$5,000,000) pursuant to this Section 4.3, then the Company shall, within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of such written request, give written notice of such request (the “Request Notice”) to all the Holders of the Registrable Securities, and use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all the Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered and included in such registration by written notice given by such Holders to the Company within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of the Request Notice.

 

(b)                                           Underwriting. If the Holders initiating the registration request under this Section 4.3 (the “Initiating Holders”) intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, then they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 4.3 and the Company shall include such information in the Request Notice. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.3, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all

 

28



 

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 who is not a Holder, including, without limitation, any Person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; provided further, that at least thirty percent (30%) of shares of Registrable Securities requested by the Holders to be included in such underwriting and registration shall be so included. 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.

4.4                                 Piggyback Registrations

 

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Company proposes to register for its own account any of its equity securities in connection with the public offering of such securities, or if any demand registration of equity securities is requested by investors making equity investment in the Company subsequent to the equity investment in the Company by the Holders, the Company shall notify all the Holders of the Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) Business 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 an initial public offering or secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any registration under Section 4.3 or Section 4.5 of this Agreement or to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization), and shall afford each such Holder an

 

29



 

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) Business Days after receipt of the above described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company or any subsequent investors, 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 or any subsequent investors with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. No Shareholder of the Company shall be granted the piggyback registration right under this Section 4.4 that is superior to those of the Holders without prior written consent of Holders holding at least sixty percent (60%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding.

 

(a)                                           Underwriting.  If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 4.4 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders of the Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder’s Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All the 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 but subject to Section 4.13, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company, second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of shares of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder, and third, to holders of other securities of the Company; provided, however, that the right of the underwriter(s) to exclude shares (including the Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that (i)the number of the Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate number of shares of the Registrable Securities, on a pro rata basis, for which inclusion has been requested; and (ii)all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other Person who is not a Holder, including, without limitation, any Person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. 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.

 

(b)                                           Not Demand Registration.  Registration pursuant to this Section 4.4shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section4.3 above. There shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 4.4.

4.5                                               Form F-3 or Form S-3 Registration

 

In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of any Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 for which the reasonably anticipated aggregate offering price to the public would exceed US$500,000 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company will:

 

(a)                                 Notice. Promptly give written notice of the proposed registration and the Holder’s or Holders’ request therefor, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of the Registrable Securities; and

 

(b)                                 Registration. As soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s 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) Business Days after the Company provides the notice contemplated by Section4.5(a); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 4.5:

 

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

 

(ii)                                  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 at such time, 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 initiating such registration request pursuant to this Section 4.5; provided that the Company shall not register any of its other Shares during such sixty (60) day period. A registration right under Section 4.5 shall not be deemed to have been exercised until such deferred registration shall have been effected;

 

(iii)                               if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) Form F-3 or Form S-3 registrations pursuant to this Section 4.5; or

 

(iv)                              in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.

 

Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form F-3 or Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders.

 

(c)                                  Not Demand Registration. Form F-3 or Form S-3 registrations shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 4.3 above. Except as

 

31



 

otherwise provided herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of the Registrable Securities under this Section 4.5.

 

(d)                                 Underwriting. If the Holders of Registrable Securities requesting registration under this Section 4.5 intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, the provisions of Section 4.3(b) shall apply to such registration.

 

4.6                                               Expenses

 

All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to Sections4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 (but excluding the Selling Expenses) shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to Sections4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all the Selling Expenses, in connection with such offering by the Holders.

 

4.7                                               Obligations of the Company

 

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

 

(a)                                 Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to ninety (90) days or, in the case of the Registrable Securities registered under Form F-3 or Form S-3 in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act or a successor rule, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such ninety (90) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period any Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of the underwriter(s), and (ii) in the case of any registration of the Registrable Securities on Form F-3 or Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such ninety (90) day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold.

 

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

 

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

 

(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

 

32



 

shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.

 

(e)                                  Underwriting. In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering.

 

(f)                                   Notification. Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of (i) the issuance of any stop order by the SEC in respect of such registration statement, or (ii) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

 

(g)                                  Opinion and Comfort Letter. Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of the Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriter(s) for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) “comfort” letters dated as of (x) the effective date of the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities and (y) the closing date of the offering, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.

 

4.8                                               Furnish Information

 

It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.

 

4.9                                               Indemnification

 

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections4.3, 4.4 or 4.5:

 

(a)                                 By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its partners, officers, directors, legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who

 

33



 

controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other United States federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each, a “Violation”):

 

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

 

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

 

(iii)                               any violation or alleged violation 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 state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;

 

and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, its partner, officer, director, legal counsel, underwriter and controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent (and only 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 to the Company expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, legal counsel, underwriter or controlling Person of such Holder.

 

(b)                            By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will, severally but not jointly, if the 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 such other Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling Person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other United States federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder to the Company 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

 

34



 

other Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling Person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 4.9(b) exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which the applicable Violation arises.

 

(c)                                  Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4.9of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 4.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 4.9 to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 4.9.

 

(d)                                 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.9 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 4.9 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any indemnified party in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 4.9; then, and in each such case, the indemnified party and the indemnifying party will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) 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 losses, claims, damages or liabilities, 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 net proceeds to such Holder from the sale of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no Person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation

 

35



 

(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(e)                                  Survival; Consents to Judgments and Settlements. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 4.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement, regardless of the expiration of any statutes of limitation or extensions of such statutes. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

4.10                                        Termination of the Company’s Obligations

 

The Company’s obligations under Sections 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 with respect to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registration pursuant to Section 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 shall terminate (i) on the fifth anniversary of the Qualified IPO of the Company’s securities, (ii) upon the termination, liquidation, dissolution of the Company, or (iii) if and when in the opinion of the counsel to the Company, all such Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder may then be sold without registration in any ninety (90) day period pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, provided that such counsel is qualified to and experienced in practicing U.S. securities regulations and the Company shall provide such opinion of its counsel to the Holder.

 

4.11                                        No Registration Rights to Third Parties

 

Without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any Person any registration rights of any kind (whether similar to the demand, “piggyback” or Form F-3 or Form S-3 registration rights described in this Section 4, or otherwise) relating to any securities of the Company which are senior to, or on a parity with, those granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities. In any event, if the Company grants to any holder of the Company’s security any registration right of any nature that are superior to the Holders, as determined in good faith by the Board (including the consent of the Preferred Directors), the Company shall grant such superior registration right to the Holders as well.

 

4.12                                        Market Stand-Off

 

Each of the Founder, the Investors and other Shareholders hereby agrees that, if and to the extent requested by the Company or the underwriters managing the initial public offering of the Company’s securities, it will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any securities of the Company owned immediately prior to the date of the final prospectus relating to the initial public offering (other than those permitted to be included in the registration and other transfers to Affiliates permitted by law who agree to be similarly bound) 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 initial public offering or the pricing date of such offering as may be requested by the underwriters. The foregoing provision of this Section 4.12 shall (a) be subject to any exceptions that any Holder and the applicable underwriter may agree on, (b) apply only to the

 

36



 

first registration statement of the Company which covers securities to be sold on its behalf to the public in an underwritten offering, but not to the Registrable Securities actually sold pursuant to such registration statement, (c) only be applicable to the Holders if all officers, directors and holders of the Company’s outstanding share capital enter into similar agreements, and if the Company or any underwriter releases any officer, director or holder 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, and (d) the lock-up agreements shall permit such Holders to transfer their Registrable Securities to their respective Affiliates so long as the transferees enter into the same lockup agreement. Each Holder agrees to execute and deliver to the underwriters a lock-up agreement containing substantially similar terms and conditions as those contained herein, unless otherwise agreed by such Holder and the underwriters. The Company shall require all future acquirers of the Company’s securities to execute prior to a Qualified IPO a market stand-off agreement containing substantially similar provisions as those contained in this Section 4.12.

 

4.13                          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:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

4.14                          Re-sale Rights.

 

The Company shall at its own cost use its best efforts to assist each Holder in the sale or disposition of, and to enable the Holder to sell under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act the maximum number of, its Registrable Securities, including without limitation (a) the prompt delivery of applicable instruction letters to the Company’s transfer agent to remove legends from the Holder’s share certificates, (b) causing the prompt delivery of appropriate legal opinions from the Company’s counsel in forms reasonably satisfactory to

 

37



 

the Holder’s counsel, (c) if the Company has depository receipts listed or traded on any exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, (i) the prompt delivery of instruction letters to the Company’s share registrar and depository agent to convert the Holder’s securities into depository receipts or similar instruments to be deposited in the Holder’s brokerage account(s), and (ii) the prompt payment of all costs and fees related to such depositary facility, including conversion fees and maintenance fees for Registrable Securities held by the Holders. The Company acknowledges that time is of the essence with respect to its obligations under this Section 4.14, and that any delay will cause the Holders irreparable harm and constitutes a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

4.15                                                IPO Participation Right.

 

Subject to applicable law and regulations, each holder of Preferred Shares shall have the right to purchase or direct any of its Affiliates to purchase, at its option, at the final price per share (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) set forth in the Company’s final prospectus with respect to an IPO, up to the number of the Ordinary Shares of the Company offered in the IPO that enables such holder of Preferred Shares to maintain, in the aggregate, its percentage ownership interest in the Company immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO.

 

4.16                                                IPO Sale Right.

 

If any equity securities of the Company are offered in an underwritten public offering (whether or not a Qualified IPO) for the account of any Shareholder of the Company, each holder of Preferred Shares shall have the right to include a pro rata number of shares in the offering on terms and conditions no less favourable to such holder of Preferred Shares than to any other selling Shareholder(s), provided that the aggregate number of the equity securities of the Company to be offered by all the selling Shareholders in an underwritten public offering shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total number of the equity securities of the Company available for public subscription or placing under such underwritten public offering.

 

5.                                      RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION

 

Each of the Investors and any other holder of the Preferred Shares to which rights under this Section 5 have been duly assigned in accordance with Section 10.1 (such Investor and each such assignee each hereinafter referred to as a “Participation Rights Holder”) and/or its Affiliate(s) shall have the right of first refusal to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share (as defined in Section 5.1), of all (or any part) of any New Securities (as defined in Section 5.2) that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement (the “Right of Participation”). Each Participation Rights Holder may apportion, at its sole discretion, its Pro Rata Shares among its Affiliates in any proportion; provided that such Affiliates (which are not parties to this Agreement) shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement by executing the Deed of Adherence substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Deed of Adherence”).

 

5.1                                 Pro Rata Share

 

A Participation Rights Holder’s “Pro Rata Share” for purposes of the Right of Participation is the ratio of (a) the number of Ordinary Shares into which the then outstanding Preferred Shares held by such Participation Rights Holder are convertible (calculated on an

 

38



 

as-converted basis), to (b) the total number of the Ordinary Shares into which the then outstanding Preferred Shares held by all Participation Rights Holders are convertible (calculated on an as-converted basis) immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities giving rise to the Right of Participation.

5.3                               Procedures

 

(a)                                 First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of any New Securities (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), it shall give to each Participation Rights Holder written notice of its intention to issue such New Securities (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the amount and class of the New Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Participation Rights Holder shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of any such First Participation Notice (the “First Participation Period”) to agree on behalf of itself or its Affiliates in writing to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the First Participation Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of the New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share). If any Participation Rights Holder fails to so agree in writing within the First Participation Period to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s full Pro Rata Share of an offering of such New Securities, then such Participation Rights Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that it did not agree to purchase.

 

(b)                                 Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription. If any Participation Rights Holder fails or declines to fully exercise its Right of Participation in accordance with Section 5.3(a) above, the Company shall promptly (but no later than three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the First Participation Period) give notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to other Participation Rights Holders who have fully exercised their Right of Participation (the “Fully Participating Investors”) in accordance with Section 5.3(a) above, which notice shall set forth the number of the New Securities not purchased by the other Participation Rights Holders pursuant to Section 5.3(a) above (such shares, the “Overallotment New Securities”). Each Fully Participating Investor shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the Second Participation Notice (the “Second Participation Period”) to notify the Company of its desire to purchase more than its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, stating the number of the additional New Securities it proposes to buy (the “Additional Number”). Such notice may be made by telephone if confirmed in writing within two (2) Business Days. If, as a result thereof, the total number of additional New Securities the Fully Participating Investors propose to buy exceeds the total number of the Overallotment New Securities, each Fully Participating Investor who proposes to buy more than such number of additional New Securities equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of  the Overallotment New Securities by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the Ordinary Shares into which the then outstanding Preferred Shares held by such Fully Participating Investor are convertible (calculated on an as-converted basis) and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares into which the then outstanding Preferred Shares held by all Fully Participating Investors are convertible (calculated on an as-converted basis) (an “Oversubscribing Fully Participating Investor”) will be cut back by the Company with respect to its oversubscription to that number of the Overallotment New Securities equal to the lesser of (x) its Additional Number and (y) the product obtained by multiplying (i)the number of the Overallotment New Securities available for subscription by (ii)a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the Ordinary Shares into which the then outstanding Preferred Shares held by such Oversubscribing Fully

 

40



 

Participating Investor are convertible (calculated on an as-converted basis) and the denominator of which is the total number of the Ordinary Shares into which the then outstanding Preferred Shares held by all the Oversubscribing Fully Participating Investors are convertible (calculated on an as-converted basis). Each Fully Participating Investor shall be obligated to buy such number of New Securities as determined by the Company pursuant to this Section5.3 and the Company shall so notify the Fully Participating Investors within five (5) days following the expiration of the Second Participation Period.

 

5.4                            Failure to Exercise

 

If Participation Rights Holders fail or decline to exercise their rights or purchase all New Securities included in the First Participation Notice within the First Participation Period or the Second Participation Period under Section 5.3 (a) or Section 5.3 (b) (as the case may be), the Company shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of the First Participation Notice or Second Participation Notice, as the case may be, to sell the New Securities described in the First Participation Notice (with respect to which the Right of Participation hereunder were not exercised) at the same or higher price and upon non-price terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the First Participation Notice. The purchaser (which is not a party to this Agreement) shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement by executing a Deed of Adherence in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold such New Securities within such one hundred and twenty (120)-day period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without offering such New Securities to the Participation Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 5 again.

 

5.5                            Proposed Issuance to Baidu Restricted Person

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement or in the Amended M&AA, if the Company proposes to issue any New Securities to any Baidu Restricted Person, the Company shall describe this point in the First Participation Notice, which shall certify that the Company has received an offer from such Baidu Restricted Person and in good faith believes a binding agreement for such proposed issuance is obtainable on the terms set forth in the First Participation Notice. The First Participation Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed issuance and in this event Baidu shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the First Participation Notice to agree in writing to purchase all but not less than all of the New Securities to be issued to such Baidu Restricted Person for the price and upon the material terms and conditions specified in the First Participation Notice by giving written notice to the Company, in which event the Company shall not issue the New Securities to the relevant Baidu Restricted Person in the relevant financing. If Baidu fails to so agree in writing within the above fifteen-day period to purchase such New Securities, then such New Securities shall be subject to the participation rights of all Participation Rights Holders (including Baidu) as provided in Section 5.3. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not issue any New Security to any Baidu Restricted Person unless this Section 5.5 has been fully complied with. For avoidance of any doubt, if the Company will issue any New Securities to Tencent only due to exercise by Tencent of its Right of Participation provided in Section 5.1 to 5.4 above as a holder of Preferred Shares of the Company, such issuance shall not be subject to Baidu’s rights provided in this Section 5.5.

The Co-Sale Notice shall set forth the number of Shares (on an as-converted basis) that such Co-Sale Holder wishes to include in such Transfer, which amount shall not exceed the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of such Co-Sale Holder. To the extent the Co-Sale Holder exercises such right of co-sale in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of the Offered Shares that the Selling Shareholder may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced. The co-sale right of each Co-Sale Holder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)                                 Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion. A Co-Sale Holder may sell all or any part of that number of Ordinary Shares held by or issuable to it (on an as-converted basis) that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of the Offered Shares subject to the co-sale right hereunder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares into which the then outstanding Preferred Shares held by such Co-Sale Holder are convertible (calculated on an as-converted basis) at the time of the date of First Refusal Expiration Notice and the denominator of which is the combined number of Ordinary Shares held by the Selling Shareholder and Ordinary Shares into which the then outstanding Preferred Shares held by all the Co-Sale Holders exercising the co-sale right hereunder are convertible (calculated on an as-converted basis) at the time of the date of First Refusal Expiration Notice(the “Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion”). The co-sale right under this Section 6.3 shall not apply with respect to any Shares sold or to be sold to the Company or the Non-Selling Shareholders under the right of first refusal under Section 6.2.

 

(b)                                 Transferred Shares. A Co-Sale Holder shall effect its participation in the co-sale by promptly delivering to the Selling Shareholder for transfer to the prospective purchaser instrument(s) of transfer executed by such Co-Sale Holder and one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent:

 

(i)                                     the number of the Shares which such Co-Sale Holder elects to sell;

47



 

Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares and deliver certificates for Ordinary Shares as provided in Section 6.3(b)(i) above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual Transfer of such shares to the prospective purchaser; or

 

(iii)       a combination of the above.

 

(c)                                  Payment to Co-Sale Holders; Registration of Transfer. The share certificate or certificates that a Co-Sale Holder delivers to the Selling Shareholder pursuant to Section 6.3(b) above shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the Transfer of the Offered Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Selling Shareholder shall concurrently therewith remit to the Co-Sale Holder exercising the co-sale right that portion of the sale proceeds to which the Co-Sale Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such Transfer. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase Shares or other securities from the Co-Sale Holders exercising the co-sale right hereunder, the Selling Shareholder shall not Transfer to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Offered Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such Transfer, the Selling Shareholder shall purchase such Shares or other securities from the Co-Sale Holders exercising the co-sale right. The Company shall, upon surrendering by the Co-Sale Holder or the Selling Shareholder of the certificates for the Shares or other securities being Transferred from the Co-Sale Holders as provided above, make proper entries in the register of members of the Company and cancel the surrendered certificates and issue any new certificates in the name of the prospective purchase or the Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, as necessary to consummate the transactions in connection with the exercise by the Co-Sale Holder of its co-sale rights under this Section 6.3.

 

6.4                            Right to Transfer

 

To the extent the Non-Selling Shareholders do not elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares subject to the Transfer Notice, the Selling Shareholder may, not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following delivery to the Company and the Non-Selling Shareholders of the Transfer Notice, conclude a Transfer of the Offered Shares covered by the Transfer Notice which shall have not been elected to be purchased by the Company or the Non-Selling Shareholder and the number of which shall have not been reduced pursuant to the co-sale right of the Co-Sale Holders hereunder, provided that, in each case, (i) such Transfer shall be at a price not less than, and upon terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers than, those described in the Transfer Notice; and (ii) the third-party transferee (which is not a party to this Agreement) of such Offered Shares shall have executed the Deed of Adherence and become a party to, and to be bound by, this Agreement (and each other relevant Transaction Documents), assuming all the rights and obligations of the Selling Shareholder under this Agreement (and each other relevant Transaction Documents) with respect to such Offered Shares.

In addition to and without prejudice to any other Transaction Document, the Founder undertakes and covenants to the Investors that, as long as he remains an employee of any of the Group Companies or beneficially or legally owns any shares or securities of any Group Company, he shall commit all of his efforts to furthering the Business of the Group Companies and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Preferred Majority Holders, either on his own account or through any of his Affiliates, or in conjunction with or on behalf of any other Person, (i) possess, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the

(a)                                           In addition to and without prejudice to any other Transaction Document, the Founder undertakes to the Investors that commencing from the date of this Agreement until twenty four (24) months after the date he ceases to be employed by any Group Company (including as a consultant) or beneficially or legally own any shares or securities of any Group Company, whichever is later, he will not, without the prior written consent of all the Investors, either on his own account or through any of his Affiliates, or in conjunction with or on behalf of any other Person: (i) carry out, be engaged, concerned or interested directly or indirectly whether as shareholder, director, employee, partner, agent, or consultant in any business in direct competition with, or otherwise related to, any business relating to the Business engaged by any Group Company; (ii) solicit or entice away or attempt to solicit or entice away from any Group Company, any Person, firm, company or organization who is a customer, client, representative, agent, correspondent, employee, contractor or consultant of such Group Company or in the habit of dealing with such Group Company.

 

Each undertaking in this Section 11.2(a) shall be treated as independent of the other undertakings so that, if any of them is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining undertakings shall be valid to the extent that they are not affected.

 

The Founder hereby expressly acknowledges and declares that he has duly considered the undertakings set out in this Section 11.2(a) and considers that they are reasonable in the circumstances and warrants and undertakes to the Investors that he shall not challenge or query the validity and enforceability of these undertakings.

11.3                        Tax Matters

 

(a)                                           The Company shall not, without the written consent of all the Investors, issue or transfer securities in the Company to any investor if following such issuance or transfer the Company, in the determination of counsel or accountants for any Investor, would be a “Controlled Foreign Corporation” (“CFC”) as defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any successor thereto) (the “Code”) with respect to the securities held by any Investor. No later than two (2) months following the end of each Company

 

62



 

taxable year, the Company shall provide the following information to each Investor: (i) the Company’s capitalization table as of the end of the last day of such taxable year and (ii) a report regarding the Company’s status as a CFC. In addition, the Company shall provide each Investor with access to such other Company information as may be required by such Investor to determine the Company’s status as a CFC to determine whether such Investor is required to report its pro rata portion of the Company’s “Subpart F income” (as defined in Section 952 of the Code) on its United States federal income tax return, or to allow such Investor to otherwise comply with applicable United States federal income tax laws. The Company shall make due inquiry with its tax advisors on at least an annual basis regarding its status as a CFC and regarding whether any portion of the Company’s income is Subpart F income. In the event that the Company is determined by the Company’s tax advisors or by counsel or accountants for any Investor to be a CFC with respect to the securities held by such Investor, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid generating Subpart F income. In the event that the Company is determined by counsel or accountants for any Investor to be a CFC with respect to the securities held by such Investor (the “CFC Affected Investor”), the Company agrees, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and subject to other provisions of this Agreement and Transaction Documents, to annually make dividend distributions to (i) such CFC Affected Investor in an amount equal to 50% of any income deemed distributed to such Investor pursuant to Section 951(a) of the Code and (ii) any Investor that is not a CFC Affected Investor, an amount such that each Investor receives a pro rata distribution from the Company, as applicable, based on its ownership percentage..

 

(b)                                 None of the Group Companies will be at any time during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code (a “PFIC”). Each Group Company shall use its best efforts to avoid being a PFIC. The Company, on behalf of each Group Company, shall make due inquiry with its tax advisors on at least an annual basis regarding the status of each Group Company as a PFIC, and if the Company is informed by its tax advisors that any Group Company has become a PFIC, or that there is a likelihood of any Group Company being classified as a PFIC for any taxable year, the Company shall promptly notify each Investor of such status or risk, as the case may be. In connection with a “Qualified Electing Fund” election made by any Investor pursuant to Section 1295 of the Code or a “Protective Statement” filed by such Investor pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-3, as amended (or any successor thereto), the Company, or the applicable Group Company, shall provide annual financial information as described under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-1(g) to such Investor in the form satisfactory to the Investor as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of each taxable year of such Investor (but in no event later than 90 days following the end of each such taxable year), and shall provide such Investor with access to such other Group Company information as may be required for purposes of filing U.S. federal income tax returns in connection with such Qualified Electing Fund election or Protective Statement. In the event that an Investor who has made a “Qualified Electing Fund” election must include in its gross income for a particular taxable year its pro rata share of any Group Company’s earnings and profits pursuant to Section 1293 of the Code, the Company agrees, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and subject to other provisions of this Agreement and Transaction Documents, to make a dividend distribution to (i) such Investor (the “QEF Investor”) (no later than 90 days following the end of such QEF Investor’s taxable year or, if later, 90 days after the Company is informed by such QEF Investor that such QEF Investor has been required to recognize such an income inclusion) in an amount equal to 50% of the amount so included by such QEF Investor and (ii) any Investor that is not a QEF

 

63



 

Investor, an amount such that each Investor receives a pro rata distribution from the Company based on its ownership percentage.

 

(c)                                  The Company shall take such actions, including making an election to be treated as a corporation or refraining from making an election to be treated as a partnership, as may be required to ensure that at all times the Company is treated as corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.

 

(d)                                 The Company shall make due inquiry with its tax advisors on at least an annual basis regarding whether any of the Investors’ interest in any Group Company is subject to the reporting requirements of either or both of Sections 6038 and 6038B (and the Company shall duly inform the Investors of the results of such determination), and in the event that the Company’s tax advisors or any Investor’s tax advisors determine that such Investor’s interest in any Group Company is subject to any such reporting requirements, the Company agrees, upon a request from such Investor, to provide such information to such Investor as may be necessary to fulfill such Investor’s obligations thereunder.

 

(e)                                  The Group Companies shall, and the Founder shall cause the Group Companies to, comply with all Applicable Laws, including (i) all applicable PRC laws and regulations including but not limited to Circular 37 and other applicable SAFE rules and regulations, and (ii) the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as amended, on an ongoing basis.

 

11.4                        Control of Subsidiaries

 

(a)                                 All material aspects of the formation, maintenance and compliance of any direct or indirect Subsidiary or entity Controlled by the Company, whether now in existence or formed in the future, shall be subject to the review and approval by the Board (including the consent of the Preferred Directors) and the Company shall promptly provide each Investor with copies of all material related documents and correspondence.

 

(b)                                 Each Covenantor shall at any time institute and shall keep in place arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Board (including the Preferred Directors) such that the Company (i) will at all times control the operation of each other Group Company, and (ii) will be permitted to properly consolidate the financial results for any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company (including without limitation the PRC Companies) in consolidated financial statements for the Company prepared under IFRS.

 

(c)                                  Each Covenantor shall take all necessary actions to maintain any direct or indirect Subsidiary or entity Controlled by the Company, whether now in existence or formed in the future, as is necessary to conduct the Business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.

 

(d)                                 Each Covenantor shall use its best efforts to cause any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company, whether now in existence or formed in the future, to comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws.
