ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1    Amendment; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by each Party, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against which the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

-22-


9.2    Expenses. The Company shall bear the cost of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction, including all reasonable fees and expenses of its and the Purchasers’ respective Representatives; provided, however, that such fees and expenses of all of the Purchasers in the aggregate shall not exceed US$70,000.00. If the Closing does not occur, each Party shall bear its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the Transaction contemplated herein, including all fees and expenses of their Representatives.

9.3    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement.

9.4    Governing Law and Venue; Specific Performance.

(a)    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW RULES THEREOF THAT WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b)    Subject to Section 9.4(c), any disputes, actions and proceedings against any Party arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the HKIAC and resolved in accordance with the arbitration rules of the HKIAC (the “Arbitration Rules”) in force at the relevant time, except as such rules are modified or displaced by any of the provisions of this Agreement. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; and a third Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree to the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator, as applicable, within the time limits specified by the Arbitration Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties and, in the case of any award of monetary damages, shall be denominated in U.S. dollars. Any Party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in this Section 9.4, any Party may, to the extent permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction where application is made, seek an interim injunction from a court or other authority with competent jurisdiction and, notwithstanding that this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York, a court or authority hearing an application for injunctive relief may apply the procedural law of the jurisdiction where the court or other authority is located in determining whether to grant the interim injunction. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.4(c) is only applicable to the seeking of interim injunctions and does not restrict the application of Section 9.4(d) in any way.

 

-23-


(d)    The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity.

9.5    Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any Party to any other Party or Parties shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, by facsimile, e-mail or overnight courier:

If a Party is required by applicable securities laws or rules or regulations of each stock exchange upon which the securities of a Party or the Company are listed or pursuant to a request by any other regulatory or Governmental Entity in any jurisdiction to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such Party shall as far as reasonably practicable, and to the extent permitted by law, make such disclosure only after prior consultation with the other Party and after giving the other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment on the proposed disclosure.

9.8    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each Party hereby agrees that its representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other Party, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Persons other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.

9.9    Severability.

Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement is void.

ARTICLE VIII.

RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS REGARDING SHARE TRANSFERS

8.1    Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8.1 and applicable securities Laws, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to the Investors. Each Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted to it in such proportions as it deems appropriate, among (i) itself, (ii) its Affiliates and (iii) its beneficial interest holders, such as limited partners, members or any other Person having “beneficial ownership”, as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, of the Investor (“Investor Beneficial Owners”); provided that each such Affiliate or Investor Beneficial Owner (x) is not a Competitor, unless such party’s purchase of New Securities is otherwise consented to by the Board of Directors, (y) agrees to enter into this Agreement as an “Investor” under such agreement (provided that any Competitor as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors shall not be entitled to any rights under Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 8.1 hereof), and (z) agrees to purchase at least such number of New Securities as are allocable hereunder to the Investor holding the fewest number of Investor Shares and any other Derivative Securities.

(a)    The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each Investor, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

(b)    By notification to the Company within thirty (30) days after the Offer Notice is given, each Investor may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the Ordinary Shares then held by such Investor (including all Ordinary Shares then issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Series A Preferred Shares and any other Derivative Securities then held by such Investor) bears to the total Ordinary Shares of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of all Series A Preferred Shares and any other Derivative Securities then outstanding). At the expiration of such 30-day period, the Company shall promptly notify each Investor that elects to purchase or acquire all the shares available to it (each, a “Fully Exercising Investor”) of any other Investor’s failure to do likewise. During the 10-day period commencing after the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising Investor may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to the number of shares specified above, up to that portion of the New Securities for which the Investors were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Investors which is equal to the proportion that the Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of Series A Preferred Shares and any other Derivative Securities then held, by such Fully Exercising Investor bears to the Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Series A Preferred Shares and any other Derivative Securities then held, by all Fully Exercising Investors who wish to purchase such unsubscribed shares. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) shall occur within the later of ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to Section 8.1(c).

 

-15-

If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Investors in accordance with this Section 8.1.

(d)    The right of first offer in this Section 8.1 shall not be applicable to (i) Exempted Securities (as defined in the Company’s Constitutive Documents), (ii) Ordinary Shares issued in an initial public offering and (iii) equity securities of the Company issued under the Employee Share Option Plan.

8.2    Right of First Refusal.

(a)    Notice of Offer. If any holder of Shares (the “Proposed ROFR Seller”) intends to sell all or any part of the Shares it owns pursuant to a bona fide offer to buy from a Person (the “Proposed ROFR Purchaser”), the Proposed ROFR Seller shall submit a written notice (the “ROFR Notice”) to the Company and the Investors stating the name of the Proposed ROFR Purchaser, the number of Shares proposed to be sold (the “Offered Shares”), the material terms and conditions, including price, of the proposed sale. The Company shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of the Proposed ROFR Seller issues the ROFR Notice, which shall be irrevocable for such time, to provide a written offer to the Proposed ROFR Seller to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares on terms, including price, no less favorable to the Proposed ROFR Seller than those reflected in the ROFR Notice.

(b)    Exercise of Right of First Refusal. If the Company has not elected to purchase all of the Offered Shares, the Company shall inform the Investors, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the ROFR Notice has been delivered to the Company, in writing of the number of Offered Shares that it has elected not to purchase, and each Investor that has received such notice from the Company shall have forty-five (45) Business Days from the date the Proposed ROFR Seller issues the ROFR Notice (the “ROFR Holders’ First Refusal Period”), which shall be irrevocable for such time, to provide a written offer to the Company and the Proposed ROFR Seller to purchase all or part of the remaining of the Offered Shares on terms, including price, no less favorable to the Proposed ROFR Seller than those reflected in the ROFR Notice (the “ROFR Offer”). Any ROFR Offer shall be irrevocable by the offering Investor and shall constitute a binding agreement. Each ROFR Holder shall have the right to purchase that number of the Offered Shares, equivalent to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of the Offered Shares, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) held by such ROFR Holder at the time of the transaction and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) owned by all ROFR Holders at the time of the transaction who have the right of first refusal to purchase the applicable shares and have elected to participate in such right of first refusal purchase.

At the ROFR Closing, if all necessary conditions of the ROFR Closing have been satisfied or waived: (i) the Proposed ROFR Seller shall deliver to such ROFR Holder (x) an instrument of transfer executed by the Proposed ROFR Seller in favor of the ROFR Holder and (y) either an extract of the register of shareholders of the Company, dated as of the date of the ROFR Closing and duly certified by the registered office provider of the Company, evidencing the ROFR Holder’s ownership of the Offered Shares set out in the ROFR Offer or a certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares; and (ii) the ROFR Holder shall deliver to the Proposed ROFR Seller the purchase price for the Offered Shares in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Proposed ROFR Seller, such account to be designated by the Proposed ROFR Seller no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the ROFR Closing.

(d)    Expiration Notice. Within ten (10) days following the expiration of the ROFR Holders’ First Refusal Period, the Company will give written notice (the “First Refusal Expiration Notice”) to the Proposed ROFR Seller and the ROFR Holders specifying either (i) that all of the Offered Shares were subscribed by the ROFR Holders exercising their rights of first refusal, or (ii) that the ROFR Holders have not subscribed for any or all of the Offered Shares in which case the First Refusal Expiration Notice will specify the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the remaining Offered Shares (the “Remaining Shares”) for the purpose of the co-sale right of the Investors described in the Section 8.3 below.

(e)    Exclusions. Notwithstanding Section 8.2(a), none of the following transactions shall be subject to the right of first refusal described in this Section 8.2: (i) any transfer of Shares by a Founder or an Investor to any Affiliate of such Founder or such Investor; (ii) any sale in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act; (iii) any sale of shares of the Company pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; (iv) any sale of shares of the Company to the public pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC under the Securities Act; and (v) other on-market sales; provided that in each of (ii) and (iv) above, any such sale shall be (x) to five (5) or more purchasers, none of which shall be Affiliates of any other such purchaser and (y) no more than five percent (5%) of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis shall be transferred by any seller in any such sale or series of such sales to any purchaser in aggregate with its Affiliates.

 

-17-


(f)    Subordination. The Investors’ right of first refusal under this Section 8.2 shall be subordinated to only the Company’s right of first refusal.

8.3    Co-Sale Right. In the event that any Founder of any Founder Holding Company proposes to sell any or all of the number of Shares (the “Founders’ Offered Shares”), then the Remaining Shares shall be subject to co-sale rights under this Section 8.3 and each ROFR Holder who has not exercised any of its right of first refusal with respect to the Founders’ Offered Shares (the “Co-Sale Right Holder”) shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Proposed ROFR Seller, the Company and each other Co-Sale Right Holder (the “Co-Sale Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of First Refusal Expiration Notice (the “Co-Sale Right Period”), to participate in such sale of the Remaining Shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the ROFR Notice. The Co-Sale Notice shall set forth the number of Ordinary Shares that such Co-Sale Right Holder wishes to include in such sale or transfer, which amount shall not exceed the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of such Co-Sale Right Holder. To the extent one or more of the Co-Sale Right Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Ordinary Shares that such Proposed ROFR Seller may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced. The co-sale right of each Co-Sale Right Holder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)    Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion. Each Co-Sale Right Holder may sell all or any part of that number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) held by it that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of the Remaining Shares subject to the co-sale right hereunder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) owned by such Co-Sale Right Holder at the time of the sale or transfer and the denominator of which is the combined number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) at the time owned by all Co-Sale Right Holders who elect to exercise their co-sale rights (if any Co-Sale Right Holder does not elect to exercise the co-sale right to the full extent then its Ordinary Shares (on as-converted basis) for calculation in the denominator shall be proportionately reduced) (“Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion”).

(b)    Transferred Shares. Each participating Co-Sale Right Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Proposed ROFR Seller for transfer to the Proposed ROFR Purchaser an executed instrument of transfer and one or more certificates which represent:

(i)    the number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) which such Co-Sale Right Holder elects to sell;

(ii)    that number of Preferred Shares which is at such time convertible into the number of Ordinary Shares that such Co-Sale Right Holder elects to sell; provided in such case that, if the Proposed ROFR Purchaser objects to the allotment of Preferred Shares in lieu of Ordinary Shares, such Co-Sale Right Holder shall convert such Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares and allot Ordinary Shares as provided in Subsection 8.3(b)(i) above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser; or

(iii)    a combination of the above.

(c)    Payment. The share certificate or certificates, together with an instrument of transfer duly executed by the participating Co-Sale Right Holder, that the participating Co-Sale Right Holder delivers to the Proposed ROFR Seller pursuant to Section 8.3(b) shall be transferred to the Proposed ROFR Purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Founders’ Offered Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the ROFR Notice, and the Proposed ROFR Seller shall concurrently therewith remit to such Co-Sale Right Holder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co-Sale Right Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any Proposed ROFR Purchaser prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase any shares or other securities from a Co-Sale Right Holder exercising its co-sale right hereunder, the Proposed ROFR Seller shall not sell to such Proposed ROFR Purchaser any ROFR Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Proposed ROFR Seller shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Co-Sale Right Holder.

(d)    Right to Transfer. To the extent the ROFR Holders do not elect to purchase, or to participate in the sale of, any or all of the Founders ‘Offered Shares subject to the ROFR Notice, the Proposed ROFR Seller may, not later than ninety (90) Business Days following delivery to the Company and each of the ROFR Holders of the ROFR Notice, conclude a transfer of the Remaining Shares covered by the ROFR Notice and not elected to be purchased by the ROFR Holders, which in each case shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as those described in the ROFR Notice. The Proposed ROFR Seller shall cause any Proposed ROFR Purchaser of such shares to comply with this Agreement and Memorandum and Articles, as maybe amended from time to time, to the fullest extent. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions which are materially different from those described in the ROFR Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer of any ROFR Shares by the Proposed ROFR Seller, shall again be subject to the right of first refusal of the ROFR Holders and the co-sale right of the Co-Sale Right Holders and shall require compliance by the Proposed ROFR Seller with the procedures described in Sections 8.2 and 8.3 of this Agreement.

8.4    Prohibited Transfers

(a)    Subject to Section 8.6, none of the Founder Holding Companies shall sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose through one or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly any Ordinary Shares held by it to any Person on or prior to a Qualified IPO. Any attempt by the Founder Holding Companies to sell or transfer Ordinary Shares in violation of this Section 8.4 shall be void, and the Company hereby agrees that it will not effect such a transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such shares.

 

-19-


(b)    The Founders and the Founder Holding Companies agree that the restrictions with regard to the transfer of the Founder Holding Companies’ shares in the Company as described under this Section 8.4 shall apply equally to transfer of the shares of the Founder Holding Companies, as if each of the provisions under this Section 8.4 has been repeated with regard to transfer of the shares of the Founder Holding Companies except that the reference to the shares in the Company has been revised to refer to the shares in the Founder Holding Companies, as applicable, so that the result of such restrictions on the indirect transfer of the shares in the Company by transferring the shares in the Founder Holding Companies is the same as if the Founder Holding Companies directly transfer the relevant shares in the Company.

8.5    Restrictions on Issuance by Group Company Prior to a Qualified IPO, the Founders shall not cause any Group Company (other than the Company) to, issue to any Person any equity securities of such Group Company, or any options or warrants for, or any other securities exchangeable for or convertible into, such equity securities of such Group Company.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Founders or the Founder Holding Companies may sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose through one or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly no more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Shares accumulatively to any party so long as the Founder collectively beneficially own more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Shares following such transfer.

8.7    Termination of Rights and Restrictions. The covenants set forth in this Article VIII shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i) immediately before the consummation of the Qualified IPO, (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (iii) upon a Deemed Liquidation Event and completion of the payment of the Series A Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Memorandum and Articles) and the remaining assets distribution as provided in the Memorandum and Articles., whichever event occurs first.

MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL

13.1    Amendment; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by each Party, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 13.1.

 

-28-


13.2    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement.

13.3    Governing Law and Venue; Specific Performance.

(a)    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW RULES THEREOF THAT WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b)    Subject to Section 13.3(c), any disputes, actions and proceedings against any Party or arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to the HKIAC and resolved in accordance with the Arbitration Rules in force at the relevant time, except as such rules are modified or displaced by any of the provisions of this Agreement. The official language of the arbitration shall be English and the arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator”). The claimant(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; the respondent(s), irrespective of number, shall nominate jointly one Arbitrator; and a third Arbitrator will be nominated jointly by the first two Arbitrators and shall serve as chairman of the arbitration tribunal. In the event the claimant(s) or respondent(s) or the first two Arbitrators shall fail to nominate or agree to the joint nomination of an Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator, as applicable, within the time limits specified by the Arbitration Rules, such Arbitrator shall be appointed promptly by the HKIAC. The arbitration tribunal shall have no authority to award punitive or other punitive-type damages. The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the disputing parties. Any party to an award may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award and, for purposes of the enforcement of such award, the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction and waive any defenses to such enforcement based on lack of personal jurisdiction or inconvenient forum.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby consent to and agree that in addition to any recourse to arbitration as set out in this Section 13.3, any Party may, to the extent permitted under the Laws of the jurisdiction where application is made, seek an interim injunction from a court or other authority with competent jurisdiction and, notwithstanding that this Agreement is governed by the Laws of the State of New York, a court or authority hearing an application for injunctive relief may apply the procedural law of the jurisdiction where the court or other authority is located in determining whether to grant the interim injunction. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 13.3(c) is only applicable to the seeking of interim injunctions and does not restrict the application of Section 13.3(b) in any way.

(d)    The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity.

  (B)

In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event, if the Company does not effect a dissolution of the Company within 90 days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, then

the Company shall send a written notice to each holder of Series A Preferred Shares, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares, Class A-1 Ordinary Shares, Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares no later than the 90th day after the Deemed Liquidation Event advising such holders of their right (and the requirements to be met to secure such right) pursuant to the terms of this Article;


  (2)

to require the redemption of such shares of Series A Preferred Shares, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares, Class A-1 Ordinary Shares, and Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares; and

 

  (3)

if the holders of the Shareholder Majority so request in a written instrument delivered to the Company not later than 120 days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, the Company shall use the consideration received by the Company for such Deemed Liquidation Event (net of any retained liabilities associated with the assets sold or technology licensed, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company), together with any other assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders, all to the extent permitted by Company Law governing distributions to shareholders (the “Available Proceeds”), on the 150th day after such Deemed Liquidation Event, to redeem

  (D)

The provisions of Article 25 shall apply, with such necessary changes in the details thereof as are necessitated by the context, to the redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares, Class A-1 Ordinary Shares, Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Article 20(b)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall have no right of redemption other than that set out in this Article 20.

  (iv)

Allocation of Escrow and Contingent Consideration

If the Company at any time or from time to time after the relevant Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of Ordinary Shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Ordinary Shares issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.


  (B)

If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the relevant Conversion Price, are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the relevant Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this Article 21(e)(iii)(B) shall have the effect of increasing the relevant Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the relevant Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the relevant Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Ordinary Shares (other than deemed issuances of Additional Ordinary Shares as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

 

  (C)

If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the relevant Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Article 21(e)(iv) (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Article 21(e)(v)) of the Additional Ordinary Shares subject thereto was equal to or greater than the relevant Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the relevant Original Issue Date), are revised after the relevant Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Ordinary Shares subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Article 21(e)(iii)(A)) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.


  (D)

Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the relevant Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Article 21(e)(iv), the relevant Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.

 

  (E)

If the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the relevant Conversion Price provided for in this Article 21(e)(iii) shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in Article21(e)(iii)(B) and 21(e)(iii)(C) of this Article 21(e)(iii)). If the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the relevant Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Article 21(e)(iii) at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the relevant Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.


  (iv)

Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Ordinary Shares

In the event the Company shall at any time after the relevant Original Issue Date issue Additional Ordinary Shares (including Additional Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued pursuant to Article 21(e)(iii)), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance, then each of the relevant Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance or deemed issuance, to the consideration per share received by the Company for such issue or deemed issue of the Additional Ordinary Shares; provided that if such issuance or deemed issuance was without consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have received par value for all such Additional Ordinary Shares issued or deemed to be issued.

 

  (v)

Determination of Consideration

For purposes of this Article 21(e), the consideration received by the Company for the issuance or deemed issuance of any Additional Ordinary Shares shall be computed as follows:

 

  (A)

Cash and Property: Such consideration shall:

 

  (1)

insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Company, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;

 

  (2)

insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (including the affirmative vote of at least two Investor Directors); and

 

  (3)

in the event Additional Ordinary Shares are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in Articles 21(e)(v)(A)(1) and 21(e)(v)(A)(2) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (including the affirmative vote of at least two Investor Directors).

 

  (B)

Options and Convertible Securities: The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued pursuant to Article 21(e)(iii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by (ii) the maximum number of Ordinary Shares (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

Mandatory Conversion

If so required by the Company, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares converted pursuant to Article 21(a), including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Ordinary Shares), will terminate, except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the Ordinary Shares and cash provided for in this Article 23(a). As soon as practicable after the surrender of any certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Series A Preferred Shares, the Company shall (a) issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Ordinary Shares issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and (b) pay cash as provided in Article 21(d) in lieu of any fraction of an Ordinary Share otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Shares converted. Such converted Series A Preferred Shares shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Company may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for shareholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Shares accordingly.


  (b)

Mandatory Conversion

All holders of record of Series A Preferred Shares shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to this Article 23. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of Series A Preferred Shares in certificated form shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Company at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Company, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares converted pursuant to Article 22, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Ordinary Shares), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the Ordinary Shares and cash provided for in this Article 23. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and, if applicable, the surrender of any certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Series A Preferred Shares, the Company shall (a) issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Ordinary Shares issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and (b) pay cash as provided in Article 21(d) in lieu of any fraction of an Ordinary Share otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Shares converted. Such converted Series A Preferred Shares shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Company may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for shareholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Shares accordingly.


24.

Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion

The Company shall at all times keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Series A Preferred Shares, the Company and its Members will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of Shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

 

25.

Redemption

 

  (a)

Series A Preferred Shares

Unless prohibited by Companies Law governing distributions to shareholders, Series A Preferred Shares shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the Series A Original Issue Price per share, plus the amount which would accrue on the Series A Original Issue Price at the annual rate of six percent (6%) from the date of the Series A Original Issue Date up to and including such date as the Series A Liquidation Amount is paid with respect to such Series A Preferred Share (the “Series A Redemption Price”), in thirty-six (36) monthly instalments within three (3) years commencing not more than 90 days after receipt by the Company at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of the Series A Original Issue Date from any holder of the Series A Preferred Shares of written notice requesting redemption of all Series A Preferred Shares (the “Series A Redemption Request”) held by such holder or on a payment schedule mutually agreed by the Company and such holder of the Series A Preferred Shares requesting redemption. Following receipt of the Series A Redemption Request, the Company shall within fifteen (15) business days give written notice (the “Series A Redemption Notice”) to each holder of record of a Series A Preferred Share and all other holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall have the right to participate in such redemption by sending a written notice (such notice shall be deemed as a Redemption Request as well) to the Company within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Company’s notice. The date of each such instalment provided in the Redemption Notice shall be referred to as a “Series A Redemption Date”. On each Series A Redemption Date, the Company shall redeem, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Series A Preferred Shares owned by each holder, that number of outstanding Series A Preferred Shares determined by dividing (i) the total number of Series A Preferred Shares outstanding immediately prior to such Series A Redemption Date by (ii) the number of remaining Series A Redemption Dates (including the Series A Redemption Date to which such calculation applies). If on any Series A Redemption Date the Cayman Islands law governing distributions to shareholders prevents the Company from redeeming all Series A Preferred Shares to be redeemed, the Company shall ratably redeem the maximum number of shares that it may redeem consistent with such law.


  (b)

Class A-2 Ordinary Shares

Unless prohibited by Companies Law governing distributions to shareholders, and after the payment in full of the Series A Redemption Price for all outstanding Series A Redemption Request, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the Class A-2 Ordinary Original Issue Price per share, plus the amount which would accrue on the Class A-2 Ordinary Original Issue Price at the annual rate of six percent (6%) from the date of the Class A-2 Ordinary Original Issue Date up to and including such date as the Class A-2 Liquidation Amount is paid with respect to such Class A-2 Ordinary Share (the “Class A-2 Redemption Price”), in thirty-six (36) monthly instalments within three (3) years commencing not more than 90 days after receipt by the Company at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of the Series A Original Issue Date from any holder of Class A-2 Ordinary Shares of written notice requesting redemption of all Class A-2 Ordinary Shares (the “Class A-2 Redemption Request”) held by such holder or on a payment schedule mutually agreed by the Company and such holder of Class A-2 Ordinary Shares requesting redemption. Following receipt of the Class A-2 Redemption Request, the Company shall within fifteen (15) business days give written notice (the “Class A-2 Redemption Notice”) to each holder of record of a Class A-2 Ordinary Share and all other holders of Class A-2 Ordinary Shares shall have the right to participate in such redemption by sending a written notice (such notice shall be deemed as a Class A-2 Redemption Request as well) to the Company within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Company’s notice. The date of each such instalment provided in the Class A-2 Redemption Notice shall be referred to as a “Class A-2 Redemption Date”. On each Class A-2 Redemption Date, the Company shall redeem, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Class A-2 Ordinary Shares owned by each holder, that number of outstanding Class A-2 Ordinary Shares determined by dividing (i) the total number of Class A-2 Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to such Class A-2 Redemption Date by (ii) the number of remaining Class A-2 Redemption Dates (including the Class A-2 Redemption Date to which such calculation applies). If on any Class A-2 Redemption Date the Cayman Islands law governing distributions to shareholders prevents the Company from redeeming all Class A-2 Ordinary Shares to be redeemed, the Company shall ratably redeem the maximum number of shares that it may redeem consistent with such law.

 

  (c)

Class A-1 Ordinary Shares

Unless prohibited by Companies Law governing distributions to shareholders, and after the payment in full of (i) the Series A Redemption Price for all outstanding Series A Redemption Request and (ii) the Class A-2 Redemption Price for all outstanding Class A-2 Redemption Request, Class A-1 Ordinary Shares shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the Class A-1 Ordinary Original Issue Price per share, plus the amount which would accrue on the Class A-1 Ordinary Original Issue Price at the annual rate of six percent (6%) from the date of the Class A-1 Ordinary Original Issue Date up to and including such date as the Class A-1 Liquidation Amount is paid with respect to such Class A-1 Ordinary Share (the “Class A-1 Redemption Price”), in thirty-six (36) monthly instalments within three (3) years commencing not more than 90 days after receipt by the Company at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of the Series A Original Issue Date from any holder of Class A-1 Ordinary Shares of written notice requesting redemption of all Class A-1 Ordinary Shares (the “Class A-1 Redemption Request”) held by such holder or on a payment schedule mutually agreed by the Company and such holder of Class A-1 Ordinary Shares requesting redemption. Following receipt of the Class A-1 Redemption Request, the Company shall within fifteen (15) business days give written notice (the “Class A-1 Redemption Notice”) to each holder of record of a Class A-1 Ordinary Share and all other holders of Class A-1 Ordinary Shares shall have the right to participate in such redemption by sending a written notice (such notice shall be deemed as a Class A-1 Redemption Request as well) to the Company within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Company’s notice. The date of each such instalment provided in the Class A-1 Redemption Notice shall be referred to as a “Class A-1 Redemption Date”. On each Class A-1 Redemption Date, the Company shall redeem, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Class A-1 Ordinary Shares owned by each holder, that number of outstanding Class A-1 Ordinary Shares determined by dividing (i) the total number of Class A-1 Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to such Class A-1 Redemption Date by (ii) the number of remaining Class A-1 Redemption Dates (including the Class A-1 Redemption Date to which such calculation applies). If on any Class A-1 Redemption Date the Cayman Islands law governing distributions to shareholders prevents the Company from redeeming all Class A-1 Ordinary Shares to be redeemed, the Company shall ratably redeem the maximum number of shares that it may redeem consistent with such law.


  (d)

Manner and Mechanics of Redemption

Before a holder of the Series A Preferred Shares, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares or Class A-1 Ordinary Shares (as the case may be) shall be entitled to a redemption under these Articles, such holder shall surrender to the Company his or its certificate or certificates representing such Series A Preferred Shares, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares or Class A-1 Ordinary Shares (as the case may be) to be redeemed at the office of the Company, and thereupon the relevant Redemption Price shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner of such Series A Preferred Shares, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares or Class A-1 Ordinary Shares (as the case may be) and each such certificate shall be cancelled upon payment of the applicable Redemption Price. In the event less than all Series A Preferred Shares, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares or Class A-1 Ordinary Shares (as the case may be) represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be promptly issued representing the unredeemed Series A Preferred Shares, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares or Class A-1 Ordinary Shares (as the case may be). Unless there has been a default in payment of the relevant Redemption Price, upon cancellation of the certificate representing such Series A Preferred Shares, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares or Class A-1 Ordinary Shares (as the case may be) to be redeemed, all dividends on such Series A Preferred Shares, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares or Class A-1 Ordinary Shares (as the case may be) designated for redemption on the relevant Redemption Date shall cease to accrue and all rights of the holder thereof, except the right to receive the relevant Redemption Price and all accrued and unpaid dividend thereon, without interest, shall cease and terminate and such Series A Preferred Shares, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares or Class A-1 Ordinary Shares (as the case may be) shall cease to be issued Shares of the Company.


  (e)

Insufficient Funds

If the Company’s assets or funds which are legally available on the date that any redemption payment under this Article 25 is due are insufficient to pay in full all redemption payments to be paid on the relevant Redemption Date, those assets or funds which are legally available shall be used to the extent permitted by applicable law to pay all redemption payments due on such date on the Series A Preferred Shares, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares or Class A-1 Ordinary Shares (as the case may be) in proportion to the full amounts to which the holders to which such redemption payments are due would otherwise be respectively entitled thereon, provided that the priority of redemption payments set out in Articles 25(a), 25(b) and 25(c) respectively have been complied with.

 

  (f)

Un-redeemed Shares

Without limiting any rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Shares, Class A-2 Ordinary Shares or Class A-1 Ordinary Shares (as the case may be) which are set forth in these Articles, or are otherwise available under law, the balance of any Shares subject to redemption hereunder with respect to which the Company has become obligated to pay the relevant Redemption Payment but which it has not paid in full shall continue to have all the powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional, and other special rights (including, without limitation, rights to accrue dividends) which such Shares had prior to such date, until the Redemption Payment has been paid in full with respect to such Shares.

MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS

 

26.

Whenever the capital of the Company is divided into different Classes (and as otherwise determined by the Directors), the rights attached to any such Class may, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any Class only, be materially adversely varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued Shares of the relevant Class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of such Class by a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast at such a meeting.


27.

To every such separate meeting all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company or to the proceedings thereat shall, mutatis mutandis, apply, except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more Persons at least holding or representing by proxy at least a majority of vote of the issued Shares of the relevant Class on an as-converted basis (but so that if at any adjourned meeting of such holders a quorum as above defined is not present, those Shareholders who are present shall form a quorum) and that, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class, every Shareholder of the Class shall have such number of votes for each Share of the Class held by him as per the voting rights attached to that Class. For the purposes of this Article the Directors may treat all the Classes or any two or more Classes as forming one Class if they consider that all such Classes would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate Classes. The Directors may vary the rights attaching to any Class without the consent or approval of Shareholders provided that the rights will not, in the determination of the Directors, be materially adversely varied or abrogated by such action.

 

28.

The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any Class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class, be deemed to be materially adversely varied or abrogated by, inter alia, (i) the creation, allotment or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu with or subsequent to them or the redemption or purchase of any Shares of any Class by the Company or (ii) any change in any of the rights, preferences, privileges or priority of the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares where necessary consent has been given under Article 133(a).

CERTIFICATES

 

29.

No Person shall be entitled to a certificate for any or all of his Shares, unless the Directors shall determine otherwise.

FRACTIONAL SHARES

 

30.

The Directors may issue fractions of a Share and, if so issued, a fraction of a Share shall be subject to and carry the corresponding fraction of liabilities (whether with respect to nominal or par value, premium, contributions, calls or otherwise), limitations, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions, rights (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, voting and participation rights) and other attributes of a whole Share. If more than one fraction of a Share of the same Class is issued to or acquired by the same Shareholder such fractions shall be accumulated.

LIEN

 

31.

The Company has a first and paramount lien on every Share (whether or not fully paid) for all amounts (whether presently payable or not) payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that Share. The Company also has a first and paramount lien on every Share (whether or not fully paid) registered in the name of a Person indebted or under liability to the Company (whether he is the sole registered holder of a Share or one of two or more joint holders) for all amounts owing by him or his estate to the Company (whether or not presently payable). The Directors may at any time declare a Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company’s lien on a Share extends to any amount payable in respect of it.


32.

The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors may determine, any Share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless an amount in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing, demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder for the time being of the Share, or the Persons entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy.

 

33.

For giving effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise some Person to transfer the Shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

 

34.

The proceeds of the sale after deduction of expenses, fees and commission incurred by the Company shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, and the residue shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares prior to the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares immediately prior to the sale.

CALLS ON SHARES

 

35.

The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any moneys unpaid on their Shares, and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on such Shares.

 

36.

The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay calls in respect thereof.

 

37.

If a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest upon the sum at the rate of eight percent per annum from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the time of the actual payment, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of that interest wholly or in part.

 

38.

The provisions of these Articles as to the liability of joint holders and as to payment of interest shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.


39.

The Directors may make arrangements on the issue of partly paid Shares for a difference between the Shareholders, or the particular Shares, in the amount of calls to be paid and in the times of payment.

 

40.

The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Shareholder willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any partly paid Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (not exceeding without the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution, eight percent per annum) as may be agreed upon between the Shareholder paying the sum in advance and the Directors.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

 

41.

If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call in respect of any Shares on the day appointed for payment, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued.

 

42.

The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

43.

If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect.

 

44.

A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit.

 

45.

A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares forfeited, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the amount unpaid on the Shares forfeited.

 

46.

A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director, and that a Share has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts in the declaration as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share.


47.

The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a Share on any sale or disposition thereof pursuant to the provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and that Person shall be registered as the holder of the Share, and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the disposition or sale.

 

48.

The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes due and payable, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

 

49.

The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may determine and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and if in respect of a nil or partly paid up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee and shall be accompanied by the certificate (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. The transferor shall be deemed to remain a Shareholder until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of the relevant Shares.

 

50.

Subject to the terms of issue thereof, the Directors may determine to decline to register any transfer of Shares without assigning any reason therefor or if any transfer of Shares are made in violation of the Investors Rights Agreement, Article 68 to Article 73, Article 74, Article 75 and Article 76.

 

51.

The registration of transfers may be suspended at such times and for such periods as the Directors may from time to time determine.

 

52.

All instruments of transfer that are registered shall be retained by the Company, but any instrument of transfer that the Directors decline to register shall (except in any case of fraud) be returned to the Person depositing the same.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

 

53.

The legal personal representative of a deceased sole holder of a Share shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share. In the case of a Share registered in the name of two or more holders, the survivors or survivor, or the legal personal representatives of the deceased holder of the Share, shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share.


54.

Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, have the right either to be registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share or, instead of being registered himself, to make such transfer of the Share as the deceased or bankrupt Person could have made; but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the deceased or bankrupt Person before the death or bankruptcy.

 

55.

A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered Shareholder, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company.

ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

56.

Subject to these Articles, the Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into Shares of such Classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe.

 

57.

Subject to these Articles, the Company may by Ordinary Resolution:

 

  (a)

consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of a larger amount than its existing Shares;

 

  (b)

convert all or any of its paid up Shares into stock and reconvert that stock into paid up Shares of any denomination;

 

  (c)

subdivide its existing Shares, or any of them into Shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced Share shall be the same as it was in case of the Share from which the reduced Share is derived; and

 

  (d)

cancel any Shares that, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any Person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled.

 

58.

The Company may by Special Resolution reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve in any manner authorised by law.


REDEMPTION, PURCHASE AND SURRENDER OF SHARES

 

59.

Subject to the Companies Law, the Company may:

 

  (a)

issue Shares on terms that they are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company or the Shareholder on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine;

 

  (b)

purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine and agree with the Shareholder;

 

  (c)

make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner authorised by the Companies Law, including out of its capital; and

 

  (d)

accept the surrender for no consideration of any paid up Share (including any redeemable Share) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine.

 

60.

Any Share in respect of which notice of redemption has been given shall not be entitled to participate in the profits of the Company in respect of the period after the date specified as the date of redemption in the notice of redemption.

 

61.

Subject to Article 25, the redemption, purchase or surrender of any Share shall not be deemed to give rise to the redemption, purchase or surrender of any other Share.

 

62.

The Directors may when making payments in respect of redemption or purchase of Shares, if authorised by the terms of issue of the Shares being redeemed or purchased or with the agreement of the holder of such Shares, make such payment either in cash or in specie including, without limitation, interests in a special purpose vehicle holding assets of the Company or holding entitlement to the proceeds of assets held by the Company or in a liquidating structure.

TREASURY SHARES

 

63.

Shares that the Company purchases, redeems or acquires (by way of surrender or otherwise) may, at the option of the Company, be cancelled immediately or held as Treasury Shares in accordance with the Companies Law. In the event that the Directors do not specify that the relevant Shares are to be held as Treasury Shares, such Shares shall be cancelled.

 

64.

No dividend may be declared or paid, and no other distribution (whether in cash or otherwise) of the Company’s assets (including any distribution of assets to members on a winding up) may be declared or paid in respect of a Treasury Share.


65.

The Company shall be entered in the Register as the holder of the Treasury Shares provided that:

 

  (a)

the Company shall not be treated as a member for any purpose and shall not exercise any right in respect of the Treasury Shares, and any purported exercise of such a right shall be void; and

 

  (b)

a Treasury Share shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of the Company and shall not be counted in determining the total number of issued shares at any given time, whether for the purposes of these Articles or the Companies Law, save that an allotment of Shares as fully paid bonus shares in respect of a Treasury Share is permitted and Shares allotted as fully paid bonus shares in respect of a treasury share shall be treated as Treasury Shares.

 

66.

Treasury Shares may be disposed of by the Company on such terms and conditions as determined by the Directors.

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

 

67.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 67 and applicable securities Laws, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to the Investors. Each Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted to it in such proportions as it deems appropriate, among (i) itself, (ii) its Affiliates and (iii) its beneficial interest holders, such as limited partners, members or any other Person having “beneficial ownership”, as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, of the Investor (the “Investor Beneficial Owners”); provided that each such Affiliate or Investor Beneficial Owner (x) is not a Competitor, unless such party’s purchase of New Securities is otherwise consented to by the Board of Directors, (y) agrees to enter into the Investors Rights Agreement as an “Investor” under such agreement (provided that any Competitor as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors shall not be entitled to any rights under Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 8.1 of the Investors Rights Agreement, or under this Article 67), and (z) agrees to purchase at least such number of New Securities as are allocable hereunder to the Investor holding the fewest number of Investor Shares and any other Derivative Securities.

 

  (a)

The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each Investor, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

 

  (b)

By notification to the Company within thirty (30) days after the Offer Notice is given, each Investor may elect to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that the Ordinary Shares then held by such Investor (including all Ordinary Shares then issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Series A Preferred Shares and any other Derivative Securities then held by such Investor) bears to the total Ordinary Shares of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of all Series A Preferred Shares and any other Derivative Securities then outstanding). At the expiration of such 30-day period, the Company shall promptly notify each Investor that elects to purchase or acquire all the shares available to it (each, a “Fully Exercising Investor”) of any other Investor’s failure to do likewise. During the 10-day period commencing after the Company has given such notice, each Fully Exercising Investor may, by giving notice to the Company, elect to purchase or acquire, in addition to the number of shares specified above, up to that portion of the New Securities for which the Investors were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Investors which is equal to the proportion that the Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of Series A Preferred Shares and any other Derivative Securities then held, by such Fully Exercising Investor bears to the Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable (directly or indirectly) upon conversion and/or exercise, as applicable, of the Series A Preferred Shares and any other Derivative Securities then held, by all Fully Exercising Investors who wish to purchase such unsubscribed shares. The closing of any sale pursuant to this Article 67(b) shall occur within the later of ninety (90) days of the date that the Offer Notice is given and the date of initial sale of New Securities pursuant to Article 67(c).


  (c)

If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Article 67(b), the Company may, during the 90-day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Article 67(d), offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person or Persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Investors in accordance with this Article 67.

 

  (d)

The right of first offer in this Article 67 shall not be applicable to (i) Exempted Securities, (ii) Ordinary Shares issued in an initial public offering and (iii) equity securities of the Company issued under the Employee Share Option Plan.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

 

68.

If any holder of Shares (the “Proposed ROFR Seller”) intends to sell all or any part of the Shares it owns pursuant to a bona fide offer to buy from a Person (the “Proposed ROFR Purchaser”), the Proposed ROFR Seller shall submit a written notice (the “ROFR Notice”) to the Company and the Investors stating the name of the Proposed ROFR Purchaser, the number of Shares proposed to be sold (the “Offered Shares”), the material terms and conditions, including price, of the proposed sale. The Company shall have fifteen (15) business days from the date of the Proposed ROFR Seller issues the ROFR Notice, which shall be irrevocable for such time, to provide a written offer to the Proposed ROFR Seller to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares on terms, including price, no less favorable to the Proposed ROFR Seller than those reflected in the ROFR Notice.


69.

If the Company has not elected to purchase all of the Offered Shares, the Company shall inform the Investors, within fifteen (15) business days after the ROFR Notice has been delivered to the Company, in writing of the number of Offered Shares that it has elected not to purchase, and each Investor that has received such notice from the Company shall have forty-five (45) business days from the date the Proposed ROFR Seller issues the ROFR Notice (the “ROFR Holders’_First Refusal Period”), which shall be irrevocable for such time, to provide a written offer to the Company and the Proposed ROFR Seller to purchase all or part of the remaining of the Offered Shares on terms, including price, no less favorable to the Proposed ROFR Seller than those reflected in the ROFR Notice (the “ROFR Offer”). Any ROFR Offer shall be irrevocable by the offering Investor and shall constitute a binding agreement. Each ROFR Holder shall have the right to purchase that number of the Offered Shares, equivalent to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of the Offered Shares, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) held by such ROFR Holder at the time of the transaction and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) owned by all ROFR Holders at the time of the transaction who have the right of first refusal to purchase the applicable shares and have elected to participate in such right of first refusal purchase.

 

70.

The closing of any purchase of shares of the Company by a ROFR Holder pursuant to this Article 70 (the “ROFR Closing”) shall occur on such date as may be agreed by such ROFR Holder and the Proposed ROFR Seller, but in no event later than seventy-five (75) business days after the date on which the ROFR Notice is deemed to have been accepted. At the ROFR Closing, if all necessary conditions of the ROFR Closing have been satisfied or waived: (i) the Proposed ROFR Seller shall deliver to such ROFR Holder (x) an instrument of transfer executed by the Proposed ROFR Seller in favor of the ROFR Holder and (y) either an extract of the register of shareholders of the Company, dated as of the date of the ROFR Closing and duly certified by the registered office provider of the Company, evidencing the ROFR Holder’s ownership of the Offered Shares set out in the ROFR Offer or a certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares; and (ii) the ROFR Holder shall deliver to the Proposed ROFR Seller the purchase price for the Offered Shares in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Proposed ROFR Seller, such account to be designated by the Proposed ROFR Seller no later than five (5) business days prior to the ROFR Closing.

 

71.

Within ten (10) days following the expiration of the ROFR Holders’ First Refusal Period, the Company will give written notice (the “First Refusal Expiration Notice”) to the Proposed ROFR Seller and the ROFR Holders specifying either (i) that all of the Offered Shares were subscribed by the ROFR Holders exercising their rights of first refusal, or (ii) that the ROFR Holders have not subscribed for any or all of the Offered Shares in which case the First Refusal Expiration Notice will specify the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the remaining Offered Shares (the “Remaining Shares”) for the purpose of the co-sale right of the Investors described in the Article 72.


72.

Notwithstanding Article 68, none of the following transactions shall be subject to the right of first refusal described in Article 68 to Article 73: (i) any transfer of Shares by a Founder or an Investor to any Affiliate of such Founder or such Investor; (ii) any sale in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act; (iii) any sale of shares of the Company pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; (iv) any sale of shares of the Company to the public pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC under the Securities Act; (v) other on-market sales; (vi) any transfer of Shares pursuant to the drag-along obligation under Article 80 to Article 86, and (vii) any transfer of Shares by the Founders or the Founder Holding Companies pursuant to Article 78, provided that in each of (ii) and (iv) above, any such sale shall be (x) to five or more purchasers, none of which shall be Affiliates of any other such purchaser and (y) no more than five percent (5%) of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis shall be transferred by any seller in any such sale or series of such sales to any purchaser in aggregate with its Affiliates.

 

73.

The Investors’ right of first refusal under Articles 68 to Article 73 shall be subordinated to only the Company’s right of first refusal.

CO-SALE RIGHT

 

74.

In the event that any Founder of any Founder Holding Company proposes to sell any or all of the number of Shares (the “Founders’ Offered Shares”), then the Remaining Shares shall be subject to co-sale rights under this Article 74 and each ROFR Holder who has not exercised any of its right of first refusal with respect to the Founders’ Offered Shares (the “Co-Sale Right Holder”) shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Proposed ROFR Seller, the Company and each other Co-Sale Right Holder (the “Co-Sale Notice”) within ten (10) business days after receipt of First Refusal Expiration Notice (the “Co-Sale Right Period”), to participate in such sale of the Remaining Shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the ROFR Notice. The Co-Sale Notice shall set forth the number of Ordinary Shares that such Co-Sale Right Holder wishes to include in such sale or transfer, which amount shall not exceed the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of such Co-Sale Right Holder. To the extent one or more of the Co-Sale Right Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Ordinary Shares that such Proposed ROFR Seller may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced. The co-sale right of each Co-Sale Right Holder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

  (a)

Each Co-Sale Right Holder may sell all or any part of that number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) held by it that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of the Remaining Shares subject to the co-sale right hereunder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) owned by such Co-Sale Right Holder at the time of the sale or transfer and the denominator of which is the combined number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) at the time owned by all Co-Sale Right Holders who elect to exercise their co-sale rights (if any Co-Sale Right Holder does not elect to exercise the co-sale right to the full extent then its Ordinary Shares (on as-converted basis) for calculation in the denominator shall be proportionately reduced) (“Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion”).


  (b)

Each participating Co-Sale Right Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Proposed ROFR Seller for transfer to the Proposed ROFR Purchaser an executed instrument of transfer and one or more certificates which represent:

 

  (i)

the number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) which such Co-Sale Right Holder elects to sell;

 

  (ii)

that number of Series A Preferred Shares which is at such time convertible into the number of Ordinary Shares that such Co-Sale Right Holder elects to sell; provided in such case that, if the Proposed ROFR Purchaser objects to the allotment of Series A Preferred Shares in lieu of Ordinary Shares, such Co-Sale Right Holder shall convert such Series A Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares and allot Ordinary Shares as provided in Article 74(b)(i). The Company shall make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser; or

 

  (iii)

a combination of the above.

 

  (c)

The share certificate or certificates, together with an instrument of transfer duly executed by the participating Co-Sale Right Holder, that the participating Co-Sale Right Holder delivers to the Proposed ROFR Seller pursuant to Article 74(b) shall be transferred to the Proposed ROFR Purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Founders’ Offered Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the ROFR Notice, and the Proposed ROFR Seller shall concurrently therewith remit to such Co-Sale Right Holder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co-Sale Right Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any Proposed ROFR Purchaser prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase any shares or other securities from a Co-Sale Right Holder exercising its co-sale right hereunder, the Proposed ROFR Seller shall not sell to such Proposed ROFR Purchaser any ROFR Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Proposed ROFR Seller shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Co-Sale Right Holder.

 

  (d)

To the extent the ROFR Holders do not elect to purchase, or to participate in the sale of, any or all of the Founders Offered Shares subject to the ROFR Notice, the Proposed ROFR Seller may, not later than ninety (90) business days following delivery to the Company and each of the ROFR Holders of the ROFR Notice, conclude a transfer of the Remaining Shares covered by the ROFR Notice and not elected to be purchased by the ROFR Holders, which in each case shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as those described in the ROFR Notice. The Proposed ROFR Seller shall cause any Proposed ROFR Purchaser of such shares to comply with the Investors Rights Agreement, the Memorandum of Association and these Articles to the fullest extent. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions which are materially different from those described in the ROFR Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer of any ROFR Shares by the Proposed ROFR Seller, shall again be subject to the right of first refusal of the ROFR Holders and the co-sale right of the Co-Sale Right Holders and shall require compliance by the Proposed ROFR Seller with the procedures described in Article 68 to Article 74.


PROHIBITED TRANSFERS

 

75.

Subject to Article 78, none of the Founder Holding Companies shall sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose through one or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly any Ordinary Shares held by it to any Person on or prior to a Qualified IPO. Any attempt by the Founder Holding Companies to sell or transfer Ordinary Shares in violation of these Articles 75 and 76 shall be void, and the Company will not effect such a transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such shares.

 

76.

The Founders and the Founder Holding Companies agree that the restrictions with regard to the transfer of the Founder Holding Companies’ shares in the Company as described under these Articles 75 and 76 shall apply equally to transfer of the shares of the Founder Holding Companies, as if each of the provisions under these Articles 75 and 76 has been repeated with regard to transfer of the shares of the Founder Holding Companies except that the reference to the shares in the Company has been revised to refer to the shares in the Founder Holding Companies, as applicable, so that the result of such restrictions on the indirect transfer of the shares in the Company by transferring the shares in the Founder Holding Companies is the same as if the Founder Holding Companies directly transfer the relevant shares in the Company.

 

77.

[Reserved]

FOUNDER TRANSFERS

 

78.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Founders or the Founder Holding Companies may sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose through one or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly no more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Shares accumulatively to any party so long as the Founder collectively beneficially own more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Shares following such transfer.

TERMINATION OF RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS

 

79.

The rights and covenants set forth in Articles 67 to Article 78 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i) immediately before the consummation of the Qualified IPO, (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (iii) upon a Deemed Liquidation Event and completion of the payment of the Series A Liquidation Amount and the remaining assets distribution as provided in Article 20, whichever event occurs first.


DRAG-ALONG OBLIGATION

 

80.

If, at any time prior to a Qualified IPO, any Investor (the “Drag-Along Seller”) secures an irrevocable offer to acquire all share capital or assets of the Company (a “Drag-Along Sale”) with a valuation of the Company of more than US$600,000,000, with any Person (such Person, a “Drag-Along Purchaser”) upon such terms and conditions as agreed to with the Drag-Along Seller, and such Drag-Along Sale is agreed by a majority vote of the other Investors and a majority vote of the Founders, each other Investor (an “Other Investor”) agrees, at the request of the Drag-Along Seller, to participate in such Drag-Along Sale as set forth in Article 80 to Article 86.

 

81.

82.

If the Drag-Along Sale is structured as a merger, amalgamation or scheme of arrangement of the Company or other transaction that requires the approval of the Investors, each Investor shall vote its respective Shares (or execute and deliver any written consents in lieu thereof) in favor of any Drag-Along Sale and all actions deemed reasonably necessary by the Drag-Along Seller in connection with the Drag-Along Sale, and against any action or proposal that may prevent, hinder or impede the consummation of the Drag-Along Sale.

 

83.

The Drag-Along Seller shall provide written notice of a proposed Drag-Along Sale to the Other Investors (a “Drag-Along Sale Notice”) not later than ten (10) days prior to such proposed Drag-Along Sale. The Drag-Along Sale Notice shall identify the Drag-Along Purchaser, the per-Ordinary Share consideration for which a transfer is proposed to be made (the “Drag-Along Sale Price”) and all other material terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Sale. Each Other Investor shall be required to participate in the Drag-Along Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in the Drag-Along Sale Notice and to tender its Shares. The price and form of consideration payable in such transfer shall be the Drag-Along Sale Price.


84.

The Drag-Along Seller shall have a period of 180 days from the date of receipt of the Drag-Along Sale Notice to enter into a definitive agreement providing for the Drag-Along Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in such Drag-Along Sale Notice, which Drag-Along Sale shall be promptly consummated, subject to fulfilling any closing conditions and obtaining any required regulatory approvals. If the Drag-Along Seller has not entered into a definitive agreement providing for the Drag-Along Sale within such 180-day period and the Drag-Along Seller proposes to effect a Drag-Along Sale after such 180-day period, the Drag-Along Seller shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Article 84.

 

85.

In connection with a Drag-Along Sale, each Other Investor shall (i) make such representations, warranties and covenants and enter into such definitive agreements as are customary for transactions of the nature of the Drag-Along Sale, (ii) benefit from and be subject to all of the same provisions of the definitive agreements as are applicable to the Drag-Along Seller, (iii) be required to bear its proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in respect of the purchase price or indemnification obligations; provided that an Other Investor shall only be obligated to indemnify any other Person in connection with such Drag-Along Sale severally; provided, further, that no Other Shareholder shall be obligated to indemnify any other Shareholder for any breach or misrepresentation by such other Shareholder with respect to title in such other Shareholder’s equity securities, (iv) be required to bear its proportionate share of the costs and expenses incurred by the Company and the Investors in connection with the proposed transaction (whether or not consummated), including all attorney’s fees and charges, all accounting fees and charges and all finders, brokerage or investment banking fees, charges or commissions (including, if requested by the Drag-Along Seller, an investment banking firm selected by the Drag-Along Seller and engaged, on customary terms (including customary indemnification from the Company)), to the extent not paid by the Company, and (v) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, not exercise any dissenters’ or appraisal rights to which they may be entitled in connection with a Drag-Along Sale.

 

86.

The covenants set forth in Article 80 to Article 85 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (i) immediately before the consummation of the Qualified IPO, (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or (iii) upon a Deemed Liquidation Event and completion of the payment of the Series A Liquidation Amount and the remaining assets distribution as provided in Article 20, whichever event occurs first.

152.

The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body but if and for so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to these Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors, the continuing Directors may act for the purpose of increasing the number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors, or by any Person acting as a Director, shall notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any such Director or Person acting as aforesaid, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such Person had been duly appointed and was qualified to be a Director.
