favorable to the transferee than those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer of any Shares by the Transferring Founder, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal, Right of Second Refusal and Co-Sale Right and shall require compliance by the Transferring Founder with the procedures described in this Section 5.
     5.5 No Adverse Effect. The Investors’ exercise or non-exercise of the Right of Second Refusal or the Co-Sale Right shall not adversely affect their rights to participate in subsequent transfers of Shares by the Transferring Founder subject to the provisions of this Section 5.
     5.6 Exempt Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Right of First Refusal, Right of Second Refusal and the Co-Sale Right shall not apply to: (a) any transfer of Shares to the spouse, parent, children or sibling of the Transferring Founder, or to trusts for the benefit of such persons or the Transferring Founder; (b) any transfer to another Founder or to an Affiliate of a Founder (including, without limitation, any current or former shareholder, member or partner of a Founder); (c) any sale to the public pursuant to an effective Registration Statement; (d) any bona fide gift to any charitable organization as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (or similar foreign statute or regulation), (e) up to a cumulative aggregate over the term of this Agreement of seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the shares held by a Transferring Founder after the sale of Common Shares contemplated by the Share Transfer Agreements, or (f) any transfer of Common Shares pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreements (collectively, the “Exempt Transfers”); provided, that, in any of the above cases: (x) the transferring party shall inform the Company of the transfer prior to effecting it and be bound by lockup provisions substantially similar to those set forth in Section 14.6 hereof; (y) in the case of a transfer described in clauses (a) and (b) only, the transferee shall furnish the parties with a written agreement to be bound by and comply with all provisions of this Section 5; and (z) in the case of a transfer described in clauses (a), (b) and (e) only, the transfer of shares shall have been approved by the Board of Directors. Subject to Section 17, the transferred shares shall remain “Shares”, and the transferee shall be treated as a “Founder” for purposes of this Agreement.
     5.7 Prohibited Transfer. In the event the Transferring Founder transfers (or agrees to transfer) any Shares in contravention of the Right of First Refusal, Right of Second Refusal or the Co-Sale Right set forth in this Article 5 (a “Prohibited Transfer”), such transfer shall be null and void and the Company shall not recognize such transfer and will not effect the transfer on the Company’s share records.
     5.8 Share Status. Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to this Section 5 shall, on acquisition by the Company, cease to form part of the issued share capital but shall remain part of the Company’s authorized share capital available for reissue.
     6. Termination of Covenants. The covenants set forth in Sections 2, 3 and 5 of this Agreement shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) a Qualified IPO or (b) the consummation of a Liquidation Event.
     7. Registration Rights. The registration rights and covenants of Holders set forth in Sections 8 through 15 relate primarily to registration of securities in the United States. In the event that the Company effects a Qualified IPO in a jurisdiction outside of the United States, the

12


 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
Shareholders agree for themselves and their transferees that the Company shall not be required to register the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, but may provide instead (to the extent available) comparable Registration rights and covenants in the jurisdiction in which it made its initial public offering.
     8. Demand Registration.
     8.1 Request for Registration on Form Other Than Form F-3. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Company receives from the Initiating Holders at any time beginning six months after the effective date of the Registration Statement pertaining to the Company’s initial underwritten public offering of the Common Shares of the Company that is effected pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with, and declared effective by, either the Commission under the Securities Act or another Governmental or Regulatory Authority for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States (other than either a public offering limited solely to employees of the Company or an offering pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or a similar provision in a non-U.S. jurisdiction) covering the offer and sale of Common Shares of the Company for the account of the Company, a written request that the Company effect any Registration with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities on a form other than Form F-3 (or any successor form to Form F-3, or any comparable form for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States) for an offering of at least 35% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (or any lesser percent if the reasonable anticipated offering price to the public, net of Selling Expenses, would exceed $10,000,000), the Company shall (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other Holders, and (ii) as soon as practicable, use its best efforts to effect Registration of the Registrable Securities specified in the request, together with any Registrable Securities of any Holder in that request as are specified in a written request given within 20 days after written notice from the Company. The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any Registration pursuant to this Section 8.1 after the Company has effected two (2) Registrations pursuant to this Section 8.1. The provisions of Section 8.4 shall be applicable to the Registration initiated under this Section 8.1. The Company shall not be required to effect more than one Registration pursuant to this Section 8.1 in any 12-month period. If the sale of all of the securities to be included pursuant to a Registration Statement is not consummated for any reason other than due to the action or inaction of the Initiating Holders, such Registration shall not be deemed to constitute one of the registration rights granted pursuant to this Section 8.1.
     8.2 Request for Registration on Form F-3. If the Initiating Holders request that the Company file a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (or any successor form to Form F-3, or any comparable form for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States) for a public offering of shares of Registrable Securities, the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of which, net of Selling Expenses, would not be less than US$1,000,000, and the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form F-3 or comparable form to Register the Registrable Securities for an offering, the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to cause those Registrable Securities to be Registered for the offering on that form and to cause those Registrable Securities to be qualified in jurisdictions as the Holder or Holders may reasonably request. The Company shall not be required to effect more than two Registrations pursuant to this Section 8.2 in any twelve (12) month period.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
     8.3 Underwriting in Demand Registration.
          (a) Notice of Underwriting. If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their demand registration request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 8, and the Company shall include that information in the written notice referred to in Section 8.1 or 8.2 of this Agreement. The right of any Holder to Registration pursuant to this Section 8 shall be conditioned upon that Holder’s agreement to participate in the underwriting and the inclusion of that Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting.
          (b) Inclusion of Other Holders in Demand Registration. If the Company, officers or directors of the Company holding Common Shares other than Registrable Securities, or holders of securities other than Registrable Securities, request inclusion in the Registration, the Initiating Holders, to the extent they deem advisable and consistent with the goals of that Registration, may, in their sole discretion, on behalf of all Holders, offer to any or all of the Company, those officers or directors, and the holders of securities other than Registrable Securities that their securities be included in the underwriting and may condition that offer on the acceptance by those persons of the terms of this Section 8. If, however, the number of shares so included exceeds the number of shares of Registrable Securities included by all Holders, the Registration shall be treated as governed by Section 9 of this Agreement rather than this Section 8, and it shall not count as a Registration for purposes of this Section 8.
          (c) Selection of Underwriter in Demand Registration. The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement with the representative (“Underwriter’s Representative”) of the underwriter or underwriters selected for the underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being Registered by the Initiating Holders and agreed to by the Company.
          (d) Marketing Limitation in Demand Registration. In the event the Underwriter’s Representative advises the Initiating Holders in writing that market factors (including, without limitation, the aggregate number of Common Shares requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten thereto, and the number of shares to be included in the Registration shall be allocated among all other Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities entitled to inclusion in that Registration held by those Holders at the time of filing the Registration Statement. No Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of this Section 8.3(d) shall be included in that Registration Statement.
          (e) Right of Withdrawal in Demand Registration. If any Holder of Registrable Securities, or a holder of other securities entitled (upon request) to be included in that Registration, disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, that person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the Underwriter’s Representative, and the Initiating Holders delivered at least three days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. The securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from the Registration Statement. If

14


 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
securities are so withdrawn from the Registration, and if the number of securities to be included in such Registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to Section 8.3(d), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who, but for the limitation under Section 8.3(d), have retained rights to include securities in the Registration the right to include additional securities in the Registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number so withdrawn, with such securities to be allocated among such Holders requesting additional inclusion in proportion to the respective amounts of securities (including Registrable Securities) entitled to inclusion in such Registration held by those holders at the time of filing of the Registration Statement.
     8.4 Right of Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to file a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 8:
          (a) if the Company, within ten days of the receipt of the request of any Initiating Holder(s), gives notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a Registration Statement with the Commission (or comparable regulatory agency for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States) within 60 days of receipt of that request (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or an offering, solely to employees), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective;
          (b) within six months immediately following the effective date of any Registration Statement pertaining to the securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan) for which the Holders were entitled to the Registration rights set forth in Section 8 or Section 9; or
          (c) if the Company furnishes to those Holders a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for a Registration Statement to be filed in the near future.
     In each of the above instances, the Company’s obligation to use its best efforts to file a Registration Statement in response to the Holders’ request therefor shall be deferred for a period not to exceed 120 days from the receipt of such request; provided that the Company shall not exercise the right contained in this Section 8.4 more than once in any twelve month period and provided further, that, in the case of a Company delay pursuant to clause (b) or (c) only, during such 120-day period the Company shall not file a Registration Statement with respect to the public offering of securities of the Company.
     8.5 Other Securities Laws in Demand Registration. In the event of any Registration pursuant to this Section 8, the Company shall exercise its best efforts to Register and qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities laws of any other jurisdictions as shall be reasonably appropriate for the distribution of the securities; provided, however, that: (a) the Company shall not be required to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such state or jurisdiction; and (b) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification

15


 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
of the securities be borne by selling shareholders, the expenses shall be payable pro rata by the selling shareholders.
     9. Piggyback Registration.
     9.1 Notice of Piggyback Registration and Inclusion of Registrable Securities. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Company decides to Register any of its Common Shares (either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders exercising their respective demand registration rights) on a form that would be suitable for a Registration involving solely Registrable Securities, the Company shall: (a) promptly give each Holder written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify those securities under the applicable Blue Sky or other securities laws); and (b) include in that Registration (and any related qualification under Blue Sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request delivered to the Company by any Holder within 20 days after delivery of the written notice from the Company, subject to Section 9.2 hereof.
     9.2 Underwriting, in Piggyback Registration.
          (a) Notice of Underwriting in Piggyback Registration. If the Registration of which the Company gives notice involves an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 9.1. In this event, the right of any Holder to Registration shall be conditioned upon the underwriting and the inclusion of that Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, to the extent provided in this Section 9. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through the underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement with the Underwriter’s Representative for that offering. The Holders shall have no right to participate in the selection of the underwriters for an offering pursuant to this Section 9.
          (b) Marketing Limitation in Piggyback Registration. In the event the Underwriter’s Representative advises the Holders seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 9 in writing that market factors (including, without limitation, the aggregate number of Common Shares requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the Underwriter’s Representative (subject to the allocation priority set forth in Section 9.2(c)) may:
               (i) in the case of the Company’s initial public offering, exclude some or all Registrable Securities from the Registration and underwriting; and
               (ii) in the case of any Registered public offering subsequent to the Company’s initial public offering, limit the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration and underwriting so that the number of Registrable Securities so included is not less than 30% of the securities included in the Registration.
          (c) Allocation of Shares in Piggyback Registration. No Registrable Securities shall be excluded from any Registration unless all other shareholders’ shares (other than the

16


 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
Company) are first entirely excluded from such Registration. In the event that the Underwriter’s Representative limits the number of shares to be included in a Registration pursuant to Section 9.2(b), the number of shares to be included in the Registration shall be allocated among all Holders requesting and legally entitled to include securities in that Registration, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which the Holders would otherwise be entitled to include in the Registration. No Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of this Section 9.2(c) shall be included in the Registration Statement.
          (d) Withdrawal in Piggyback Registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any underwriting, the Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the Underwriter’s Representative delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwriting shall be withdrawn from the Registration.
     10. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with Registrations pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 9, shall be borne by the Company. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any other Registration, qualification, or compliance, shall be apportioned among the Holders and other holders, including the Company, of the securities so Registered on the basis of the number of shares Registered.
     11. Termination of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to Register securities granted under this Agreement and to receive notices pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement, shall terminate on the earliest of: (a) the date that is five (5) years after the Company’s Qualified IPO and (b) as to any Holder, such time as all Registrable Securities held by such Holder can be sold in any three (3) month period without registration under Commission Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”).
     12. Registration Procedures and Obligations. Whenever required under this Agreement to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
          (a) Prepare and file with the Commission (or comparable regulatory agency for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States) a Registration Statement with respect to those Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities Registered thereunder, keep the Registration Statement effective for up to 120 days;
          (b) Prepare and file with the Commission (or comparable regulatory agency for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States), amendments and supplements to that Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act (or other applicable law in a jurisdiction other than the United States) with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the Registration Statement;

17


 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
          (c) Furnish to the Holders the number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, required by the Securities Act (or other applicable law in a jurisdiction other than the United States), and any other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them that are contained in such Prospectus;
          (d) Use its reasonable best efforts to Register and qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of any other jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, and provided further that in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the securities be borne by selling shareholders, those expenses shall be payable pro rata by selling shareholders;
          (e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement;
          (f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;
          (g) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities Registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and a CUSIP number for all those Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of the Registration;
          (h) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, on the date such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriter for sale in connection with a Registration pursuant to this Agreement, (i) an opinion, dated the date of the sale, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of the Registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority of the Holders requesting Registration, and (ii) a letter dated the date of the sale, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority of the Holders requesting Registration, addressed to the underwriters; and
          (i) Take all reasonable action necessary to list the Registrable Securities on the primary exchange upon which the Company’s securities are then traded.

18


 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
     13. Information Furnished by Holder. It shall be a condition precedent of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement that each Holder of Registrable Securities included in any Registration furnish to the Company information regarding the Holder, the Registrable Securities held by such Holder, and the intended method of disposition of such securities by the Holder as the Company may reasonably request.
     14. Indemnification.
     14.1 Company’s Indemnification of Holders. To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors, and constituent partners, legal counsel for the Holders, and each person controlling that Holder, with respect to which Registration, qualification, or compliance of Registrable Securities has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, or actions in respect thereof to which they may become subject (collectively, “Damages”) to the extent the Damages arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any preliminary or final prospectus or other document (including any Registration Statement) or amendment and supplement thereto incident to any Registration, qualification, or compliance, or are based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of any rule or regulation under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, applicable Blue Sky laws, or other applicable laws in the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Registration occurred, applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such Registration, qualification, or compliance, and the Company shall reimburse each Holder, each underwriter, and each person who controls any officers, directors, Holder or underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 14.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claims for Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); and provided, further, that the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent that any Damages arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission (or alleged untrue statement or omission) based upon written information furnished to the Company by a Holder, underwriter, or controlling person and stated in writing to be for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company.
     14.2 Holder’s Indemnification of Company. To the extent permitted by law, each Holder shall, if Registrable Securities held by that Holder are included in the securities as to which Registration, qualification or, compliance is being effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each legal counsel and independent accountant of the Company, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by the Registration Statement, each person who controls the Company or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other Holder selling securities under the Registration, each of its officers, directors, and constituent partners, and each person controlling the other Holder, against all Damages which they may suffer that arise out of or based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, preliminary or final prospectus, offering circular, or other document, or any omission

19


 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
(or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Holder of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, applicable Blue Sky laws, or other applicable laws in the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Registration occurred, applicable to the Holder and relating to action or inaction required of the Holder in connection with such Registration, qualification, or compliance, and in each case to the extent and only to the extent that such actions occur in reliance on and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such Registration, and shall reimburse the Company, those Holders, each of its directors, officers, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other Holder, each of its officers, directors and constituent partners, and each person controlling the other Holders for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that the untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in that Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by that Holder and stated in writing to be specifically for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company, provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 14.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of that Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and provided that no such settlement shall be effected without such Holder’s consent unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Holder from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and provided, further, that each Holder’s liability under this Section 14.2 shall not exceed net proceeds (less underwriting discounts and selling commissions) received by such Holder from the offering of securities made in connection with that Registration.
     14.3 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 14 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 14, notify the indemnifying party in writing, of the commencement thereof and generally summarize the action. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense of that claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be entitled to select counsel for the defense of the claim with the approval of any parties entitled to indemnification, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnified party shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action provided further, however, that if either party reasonably determines that there may be a conflict between the position of the Company and the Holders in conducting the defense of the action, suit, or proceeding, then counsel for that party shall be entitled, at the indemnifying party’s expense, to conduct the defense to the extent reasonably determined by counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of that party. The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any action, if prejudicial to the ability of the indemnifying party to defend the action, shall relieve the indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 14, but the omission to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the party of any liability that the party may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 14.

20


 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
     14.4 Indemnification Unavailable. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 14 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that no contribution by any Holder, when combined with any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 14.2, shall exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
     14.5 Conflicts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
     14.6 Lock-up. Each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell, pledge, hypothecate, hedge, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities or other securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company and the Underwriter’s Representative for a period of time (not to exceed 180 days) following the effective date of a Registration Statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or other applicable law in a jurisdiction other than the United States in which a Registration occurred) in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. The obligations of Holders under this Section 14.6 shall be conditioned upon similar agreements being in effect with each officer, director, or holder of more than 3% of the fully-diluted share capital of the Company. Each Holder hereby agrees to execute any lock-up agreement provided to it by the Underwriter’s Representative containing substantially the terms of this Section 14.6.
     14.7 Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 14 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement or otherwise.
     15. Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without Registration or pursuant to a Registration on Form F-3, the Company agrees that, if the Company effects a Qualified IPO in the Untied States, it shall:

21


 

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
          (a) use its reasonable best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after 90 days after the effective date of the first Registration Statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the public;
          (b) take all reasonable action including the voluntary Registration of its Common Shares under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form F-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first Registration Statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;
          (c) use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
          (d) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, promptly upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first Registration Statement filed by the Company) or of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to those reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 (at any time after it so qualifies); (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and any other reports and documents filed by the Company; and (iii) any other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any securities without Registration or pursuant to that form; and
     15A. For a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States, the Company shall take actions similar to those set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of Section 15 above if needed to make available to Holders the benefits of the corresponding provision or provisions of that jurisdiction’s securities laws.

Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in the foregoing sentence respecting the minimum number of shares which must be transferred, any Holder which is a partnership may transfer that Holder’s Registration rights to that Holder’s constituent partners without restriction as to the number or percentage of shares acquired by any constituent partner.

               (ii) if the Corporate Transaction is structured as (A) an amalgamation, consolidation or sale of assets, each Remaining Preferred Holder shall waive any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights, right of judicial review, or similar rights in connection with such amalgamation, consolidation or sale of assets, or (B) a sale of stock, each Remaining Preferred Holder shall agree to sell all of the Shares and rights to acquire shares of capital stock of the Company held by such Remaining Preferred Holder on the terms and conditions approved by the Drag-Along Holders; and
