In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described herein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may (a) transfer the Ordinary Shares or ADSs, if any, to be sold by the undersigned pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, (b) transfer Ordinary Shares, ADSs or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or ADSs (collectively, “Covered Securities”) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (c) transfer Covered Securities to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, (d) transfer Covered Securities upon death by will or intestacy to the undersigned’s immediate family, or (e) transfer the securities pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction involving all holders of the ADSs or Ordinary Shares in connection with a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company; provided that in the event the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the undersigned’s securities shall remain subject to the restrictions set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement; provided that, in the case of any gift, disposition, transfer or distribution pursuant to sub-clauses (b) through (d), (i) each donee, transferee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter, and (ii) no filing under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with any such transaction; provided further that, in the case of any gift, disposition, transfer or distribution pursuant to sub-clauses (b) through (d), any such transaction shall not be for value.
