(b)           Registration Statement.  Following receipt of a Demand Request, the Company shall:
 
(i)           cause to be filed with the SEC, as soon as practicable, but in any event within 45 days of the date of delivery to the Company of the Demand Request, a registration statement on Form F-1 or, if eligible, an automatic shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 on Form F-3 (a “Registration Statement”), covering such Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to  register by the Selling Shareholder(s) and the other Holders that request, within 30 days of the mailing of the Request Notice, that their Registrable Securities also be registered, such Registration Statement shall provide for the registration under the Securities Act of such Registrable Securities to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution specified in the Demand Request;
 
 
- 4 -

 
 
(ii)           use its reasonable best efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than 120 days following the date of initial filing thereof with the SEC; and
 
(iii)          refrain from filing any other new Registration Statements.
 
(c)           Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall not be deemed to have been effected and shall not count as one of the three Demand Requests referenced in Section 2.01(e)(i) hereof (i) unless a Registration Statement with respect thereto has become effective and remained effective until such time as all of the covered Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof; provided, however, that such period shall not exceed 120 days (except in the case of a shelf registration); (ii) if, after it has become effective, such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason and has not thereafter become effective, or if the offering of Registrable Securities is not consummated for any reason, including, without limitation, if the underwriters of an underwritten public offering advise the Participating Holders that the Registrable Securities cannot be sold at a net price per share equal to or above the minimum net price disclosed in the preliminary prospectus; (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived (unless a substantial cause of such conditions to closing not being satisfied shall be attributable to one or more Participating Holders); or (iv) if the amount of Registrable Securities of Selling Shareholders included in the registration are cut back to fewer than 50% of the Registrable Securities originally requested to be registered.
 
(d)           Selection of Underwriters; Priority for Demand Registrations.
 
(i)           In the event that the Requesting Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by the Demand Request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as part of the Demand Request and the Company shall include such information in the Request Notice; provided, that in such event only Registrable Securities that are held by the Participating Holders may be included in such registration, unless a Majority in Interest of the Participating Holders (as defined below) shall otherwise agree. The managing underwriter for such underwriting shall be one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks selected by Selling Shareholders owning a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (a “Majority in Interest of the Participating Holders”), subject to the approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided in this Section 2.01(d). If requested by the underwriters, the Company and all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter selected for such underwriting in customary form and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holders of a Majority in Interest of Participating Holders.

(ii)           If the managing underwriter concludes that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, or in the event of any limitation imposed by applicable law, the managing underwriter will be obligated to include in such Registration Statement, as to each Participating Holder, only that portion of the Registrable Securities such Participating Holder has requested be registered equal to the ratio which the number of Registrable Securities such underwriter concludes can be successfully sold bears to the total number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by all Participating Holders who have requested that their Registrable Securities be included in such Registration Statement. It is acknowledged by the parties hereto that pursuant to the foregoing provision, the securities to be included in a registration requested by the Requesting Holders pursuant to Section 2.01(a) shall be allocated, (A) first, to the Participating Holders; and (B) second, to the Company and any other shareholders of the Company requesting registration of securities of the Company, subject to the proviso set forth in the first sentence in Section 2.01(d)(i).
 
(e)           Limitations on Demand Registrations.
 
(i)           The Company shall only be obligated to effect three Demand Requests pursuant to this Section 2.01, except for Demand Requests for registrations on Form F-3 which shall be unlimited.
 
(ii)           The Company will not be required to effect any registration in response to a Demand Request during the period starting on the date 30 days prior to the Company’s estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date that is 180 days immediately following the effective date of, any Registration Statement pertaining to the securities of the Company, provided that the Company is employing in good faith its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective.
 
(f)           Cancellation of Registration. A Majority in Interest of the Participating Holders shall have the right to cancel a proposed registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.01 when, (i) in their discretion, market conditions are so unfavorable as to be seriously detrimental to an offering pursuant to such registration or (ii) the request for cancellation is based upon material adverse information relating to the Company that is different from the information known to the Requesting Holders at the time of the Demand Request (the request under this sub-section (f)(ii) shall be referred to as “Material Adverse Cancellation”). Any such cancellation shall not be counted as one of the three Demand Requests.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the expenses of the Participating Holders incurred in connection with a registration that is cancelled pursuant to a Material Adverse Cancellation.

In connection with any proposed registration in which a Shareholder is participating pursuant to this Agreement, each such Participating Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any underwriter retained by the Company and their respective directors, officers, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) any of such Persons (collectively, “Shareholder Indemnified Parties”) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Shareholders as set forth in Section 2.05(a) (subject to the exceptions set forth in the foregoing indemnity, the proviso to this sentence and applicable law), but only with respect to any such untrue statement or omission made in conformity with information furnished in writing by such Participating Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the liability of any Participating Holder under this Section 2.05(b) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Participating Holder in the offering giving rise to such liability. Such indemnity obligation shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Shareholder Indemnified Parties and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by such Participating Holder.

(c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder unless and to the extent such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment or (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the joint representation of the Indemnified Party and any other party in such proceeding (including but not limited to the Indemnifying Party) would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct. In the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (B) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. The rights afforded to any Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that such Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise.
 
(d)           Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.05 from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party’s and Indemnified Party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Shareholder under this Section 2.05(d) shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Shareholder in the offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 2.05(a) through (c), any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.05 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.05(d). No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 2.05 from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)           Survival.  The obligations of the Company and the Shareholders under this Section 2.05 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement under this Section 2, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
 
Section 2.06.                         Certain Limitations On Registration Rights. No Shareholder may participate in any Registration Statement hereunder involving an underwritten public offering unless such Shareholder completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, and other documents reasonably required under the terms of the underwriting arrangements made in connection with such Registration Statement and agrees to sell such Shareholder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting agreement approved by the Shareholder(s) entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; provided, however, that no such Shareholder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters in connection with any such registration other than representations and warranties as to (i) such Shareholder’s ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold or transferred, (ii) such Shareholder’s power and authority to effect such transfer and (iii) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested. Such Shareholder holding Registrable Securities to be sold by such underwriters may, at their option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters, shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Shareholders and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the underwriters under the underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of the Shareholders.
 
Section 2.07.                         Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that it has not granted registration rights prior to the date hereof and agrees that for so long as the Holders have the right to make a Demand Request pursuant to Section 2.01 hereunder, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement (or amendment or waiver of the provisions of any agreement) with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder (i) the right to include securities in any registration pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) registration rights that are more favorable, pari passu or senior to those granted to the Shareholders hereunder.
 
Section 2.08.                         Transfer of Registration Rights. Subject to Section 3.03 of this Agreement, the rights of a Shareholder hereunder may be transferred or assigned on a pro rata basis in connection with any transfer of Registrable Securities if (i) such transfer is permitted under or accomplished in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Articles of Association of the Company, (ii) the transferee or assignee agrees in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement (including but not limited to the restrictions on disposition of Registrable Securities) and (iii) the Company is given written notice by such Shareholder of such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned.

MISCELLANEOUS
 
Section 3.01.                         Applicability.  The rights provided to the Holders under this Agreement shall similarly apply to registrations and other sales of Ordinary Shares contemplated by the terms of Section 3.2 of the Purchase Agreement, as if such registration or sale were a Registration Statement or sale of Registrable Securities hereunder.
 
Section 3.02.                         Binding Effect; Benefit.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and Permitted Transferees.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall confer on any Person other than the parties hereto, and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and Permitted Transferees, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
 
Section 3.03.                         Assignability.  Other than to Permitted Transferees, no party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, directly or indirectly, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the written consent of the Company, and any attempted assignment contrary to the terms hereof shall be null and void. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their Permitted Transferees any rights or remedies hereunder.
 
Prior to any transfer of rights to a Permitted Transferee, the transferring Holder shall provide the Company with notice of the Permitted Transferee’s name and address and the number of Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred. The Permitted Transferee shall assume the obligations of a Holder under this Agreement in a written instrument delivered to the Company.
 
Section 3.04.                         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 Holder and the Company, 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.
