(c) The Company has never been, and, to the best of its Knowledge after consultation with its tax advisors, will not be with respect to its taxable year during which the Closing occurs, a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code (or any successor thereto). The Company shall use its best efforts to avoid being a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code (or any successor thereto).

3.18. Insurance. Section 3.18 of the Disclosure Schedule provides a complete list of each Group Company’s insurance policies currently in effect.

Except as set forth in Section 3.19 of the Disclosure Schedule, each current and former employee, consultant, contractor, director, and officer of the Company or any Group Company has executed an agreement with the Company or such Group Company regarding confidentiality, proprietary information, non-competition, non-solicitation, and invention assignment substantially in the form or forms delivered to the counsel for the Investors (the “Confidential Information Agreements”).

The Subscription Shares purchased hereunder, and to be received by such Investor, will be acquired for investment purposes for such Investor’s own account or the account of one or more of such Investor’s Affiliates, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and such Investor does not have any present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Investor further represents that it does not have any Contract with any Person to, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or grant participations, with respect to any of the Subscription Shares, and has not solicited any Person for such purpose.

4.4 Investment Experience.

4.7 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that its Subscription Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under U.S. federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Such Investor understands that its Subscription Shares have not been qualified or registered under the Laws of any other jurisdiction and therefore may be viewed as restricted securities under any or all of such other applicable securities Laws.

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Warrantor shall also, jointly and severally, indemnify the Investors and its Affiliates, limited partners, members, stockholders, employees, agents and representatives (each, an “Indemnitee”) for any and all losses, liabilities, damages, liens, claims, obligations, penalties, settlements, deficiencies, costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable advisor’s fees and other reasonable expenses of investigation, defense and resolution of any Breach paid, suffered, sustained or incurred by the Indemnitees (each, an “Indemnifiable Loss”), resulting from, or arising out of, or due to, directly or indirectly, any Breach. For the avoidance of doubt, the breach of Section 3.14(b) is a material Breach that will trigger indemnity under this Section 9.

9.2 Specific Indemnity. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.1, each Warrantor hereby agrees to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee, from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses suffered by such Indemnitee, directly or indirectly, as a result of, or based upon or arising from the failure of the Group Companies and the Founders (i) to timely register certain equity pledges made by each individual equity holder of the Domestic Company; (ii) to obtain and maintain any governmental permits, licenses, certificates, or any similar authority necessary for the conduct of the business of the Group Companies, including to timely file the changes of registered capital and registered address to the extent applicable to relevant certificates, licenses and registrations of the Domestic Company and the WFOE; and (iii) to comply with any SAFE Rules and Regulations according to this Agreement. Such indemnification shall not be prejudiced by or be otherwise subject to any disclosure (in the Disclosure Schedule or otherwise) and shall apply regardless of whether the Indemnitees have any knowledge, actual or constructive, with respect thereto.

9.3 Tax Indemnity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Founder Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and keep indemnified the Indemnitees at all times and hold them harmless against any and all Indemnifiable Losses resulting from, or arising out of, or due to, directly or indirectly, any claim for Tax which has been made or may hereafter be made against the Domestic Company and any other Group Company wholly or partly in respect of or in consequence of any event occurring or any income, profits or gains earned, accrued or received by the Domestic Company and any other Group Company on or before the Closing and any reasonable costs, fees or expenses incurred and other liabilities which the Domestic Company and any other Group Company may properly incur in connection with the investigation, assessment or the contesting of any claim, the settlement of any claim for Tax, any legal proceedings in which the Domestic Company or any other Group Company claims in respect of the claim for Tax and in which an arbitration award or judgment is given for the Domestic Company or any other Group Company and the enforcement of any such arbitration award or judgment whether or not such Tax is chargeable against or attributable to any other person, provided, however, that the Founder Parties shall be under no liability in respect of taxation:

(a) that is promptly cured without recourse to cash or other assets of any Group Company;

 

32


(b) to the extent that provision, reserve or allowance has been made for such Tax in the Financial Statements;

(c) if it has arisen in and relates to the ordinary course of business of the Domestic Company since the Closing Date;

(d) to the extent that the liability arises as a result only of a provision or reserve in respect of the liability made in the Financial Statement being insufficient by reason of any increase in rates of Tax announced after the Closing with retrospective effect; or

(e) to the extent that the liability arises as a result of legislation which comes into force after the Closing and which is retrospective in effect.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the survival period for any indemnity obligation relating to claims for Tax matters arising under this Section 9.3 shall be the applicable statute of limitations for Tax claims.

9.4 Survival of Warranties. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained in Section 3 to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and such representations and warranties shall in no way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Investors or any Group Company.

The Ordinary Shares and the Preferred Shares shall have the following rights and be subject to the following restrictions:

 

  (a) Dividends

 

  (i) Subject to the provisions of the Act and the Memorandum and the Articles, no dividends shall be declared or paid on the Ordinary Shares or any future series of preference shares, unless and until approved by all board members and a dividend in like amount is declared and paid on each outstanding Preferred Share (on an as-converted basis).

 

  (ii) Each holder of a Preferred Share shall be entitled to receive on a pari passu basis in preference to any payment to the Ordinary Shares, on an annual basis, preferential, cumulative dividends at the rate of 8% of the Original Series A-1 Issue Price, the Original Series A-2 Issue Price, the Original Series A-3 Issue Price, the Original Series B Issue Price, the Original Series C Issue Price or the Original Series D Issue Price (as the case may be) (as adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or similar transactions) payable in cash when and as such cash becomes legally available therefor on parity with each other, prior and in preference to any dividend on any other Shares; provided that such dividends shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by the Board. All declared but unpaid dividends shall be paid in cash when and as such cash becomes legally available to the holders of Preferred Shares immediately prior to the closing of a Qualified IPO.

 

  (iii) In addition to any dividend pursuant to Clause 9(a)(ii) above, the holders of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive on a pari passu basis, when, as and if declared at the sole discretion of the Board, but only out of funds that are legally available therefor, cash dividends at the rate or in the amount as the Board considers appropriate.

 

  (b) Liquidation Preference

 

  (i) Liquidation Preferences. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary:

 

  (1) Before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Ordinary Shares, Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares or Series C Preferred Shares, each holder of Series D Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Original Series D Issue Price (adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions), plus all dividends accrued and unpaid with respect thereto (as adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions) per Series D Preferred Share then held by such holder. If, upon any such liquidation, distribution, or winding up, the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to make payment of the foregoing amounts in full on all Series D Preferred Shares, then such assets shall be distributed among the holders of Series D Preferred Shares, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled thereon.

  (2) After distribution or payment in full of the amount distributable or payable on the Series D Preferred Shares pursuant to Clause 9(b)(i)(1) and before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Ordinary Shares, Series A Preferred Shares or Series B Preferred Shares, each holder of Series C Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Original Series C Issue Price (adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions), plus all dividends accrued and unpaid with respect thereto (as adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions) per Series C Preferred then held by such holder. If, upon any such liquidation, distribution, or winding up, the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to make payment of the foregoing amounts in full on all Series C Preferred Shares, then such assets shall be distributed among the holders of Series C Preferred Shares, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled thereon.

If, upon any such liquidation, distribution, or winding up, the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to make payment of the foregoing amounts in full on all Series B Preferred Shares, then such assets shall be distributed among the holders of Series B Preferred Shares, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled thereon.

 

4


  (4) After distribution or payment in full of the amount distributable or payable on the Series D Preferred Shares, Series C Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares pursuant to Clauses 9(b)(i)(1), 9(b)(i)(2) and 9(b)(i)(3) and before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Ordinary Shares, Series A-1 Preferred Shares or Series A-2 Preferred Shares, each holder of Series A-3 Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Original Series A-3 Issue Price (adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions), plus all dividends accrued and unpaid with respect thereto (as adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions) per Series A-3 Preferred then held by such holder. If, upon any such liquidation, distribution, or winding up, the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to make payment of the foregoing amounts in full on all Series A-3 Preferred Shares, then such assets shall be distributed among the holders of Series A-3 Preferred Shares, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled thereon.

 

  (5) After distribution or payment in full of the amount distributable or payable on the Series D Preferred Shares, Series C Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series A-3 Preferred Shares pursuant to Clause 9(b)(i)(1), 9(b)(i)(2), 9(b)(i)(3) and 9(b)(i)(4) and before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Ordinary Shares, each holder of Series A-1 Preferred Shares and each holder of Series A-2 Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive on a pari passu basis an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Original Series A-1 Issue Price or the Original Series A-2 Issue Price (as the case may be) (adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions), plus all dividends accrued and unpaid with respect thereto (as adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions) per Series A-1 Preferred Share or Series A-2 Preferred Share, as the case may be, then held by such holder.

  (6) After distribution or payment in full of the amount distributable or payable on the Preferred Shares pursuant to Clause 9(b)(i)(1), Clause 9(b)(i)(2), Clause 9(b)(i)(3), Clause 9(b)(i)(4) and Clause 9(b)(i)(5) the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to Shareholders shall first be used to pay any accrued but unpaid dividends on other shares and then be distributed ratably among the holders of outstanding Ordinary Shares and holders of Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis.

 

  (ii) Liquidation on Sale or Merger. The following events shall be treated as a liquidation (each, a “Liquidation Event”) under this Clause 9(b)(ii) unless waived by the holders of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, the holders of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Shares, the holders of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the then outstanding Series C Preferred Shares and the holders of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the then outstanding Series D Preferred Shares, each voting as a separate series, on an as-converted basis:

 

  (1) any consolidation, amalgamation or merger of any Group Company with or into any Person, or any other corporate reorganization, including a sale or acquisition of Equity Securities of the Company or of shares or equity of any other Group Company, in which the shareholders of such Group Company immediately before such transaction own less than 50% of such Group Company’s voting power immediately after such transaction (excluding any transaction effected solely for tax purposes or to change such Group Company’s domicile);

  (4) termination of, or making any unilateral amendments to the Control Documents; or

 

  (5) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any Group Company.

 

6


and upon any such event, any proceeds resulting to the shareholders of the Company therefrom shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of Clause 9(b)(i).

 

  (iii) In the event the Company proposes to distribute assets other than cash in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the value of the assets to be distributed to the holder of Preferred Shares and Ordinary Shares shall be determined in good faith by the Board, or by a liquidator if one is appointed. Any securities not subject to investment letter or similar restrictions on free marketability shall be valued as follows:

 

  (1) If traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the security’s closing prices on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending one (1) day prior to the distribution;

 

  (2) If traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution; and

 

  (3) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board.

The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability shall be adjusted to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in clauses (1), (2) or (3) to reflect the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board, or by a liquidator if one is appointed. The holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the then outstanding Preferred Shares shall have the right to challenge any determination by the Board of fair market value pursuant to this Clause 9(b)(iii), in which case the determination of fair market value shall be made by an independent appraiser selected jointly by the Board and the challenging parties, the cost of such appraisal to be borne by the Company if the independent appraiser determines that the fair market value of the securities is less than that determined by the Board by a factor of more than 5%. Such costs shall be borne by the challenging parties if the independent appraiser determines that the fair market value of the securities is equal to at least 95% of the fair market value determined by the Board.

 

  (c) Voting Rights

Subject to the provisions of this Memorandum and the Articles, at all general meetings of the Company: (i) the holder of each Ordinary Share issued and outstanding shall have one (1) vote in respect of each Ordinary Share held, provided however that Ordinary Shares held by the Founder Holdcos and the Employee Compensation Shares shall have five (5) votes (“Super Voting Rights”) in respect of each such Share (“Super Voting Shares”) (in the event a holder of Super Voting Shares transfers any of the Super Voting Shares to any person or entity which is not an existing holder of Super Voting Shares and is not an Affiliate of such holder, or any holder of the Super Voting Shares elects to give up the Super Voting Rights by giving a written notice to the Company, such Shares shall no longer be entitled to any Super Voting Rights any more and shall only have one (1) vote in respect of each Ordinary Share), and (ii) the holder of each Preferred Share shall be entitled to such number of votes as equals the whole number of Ordinary Shares into which such holder’s collective Preferred Shares are convertible immediately after the close of business on the record date of the determination of the Company’s shareholders entitled to vote or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of the Company’s shareholders is first solicited. Subject to provisions to the contrary elsewhere in this Memorandum and the Articles, or as required by the Act, the holders of Preferred Shares shall vote together with the holders of Ordinary Shares, and not as a separate class or series, on all matters put before the Shareholders.

  (d) Conversion Rights

The holders of the Preferred Shares shall have the following rights described below with respect to the conversion of the Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares. Subject to the provisions of Clause 9(d)(v), (1) the number of Ordinary Shares to which a holder shall be entitled upon conversion of any Series A-1 Preferred Share shall be the quotient of the Original Series A-1 Issue Price divided by the then-effective Series A-1 Conversion Price; (2) the number of Ordinary Shares to which a holder shall be entitled upon conversion of any Series A-2 Preferred Share shall be the quotient of the Original Series A-2 Issue Price divided by the then-effective Series A-2 Conversion Price; (3) the number of Ordinary Shares to which a holder shall be entitled upon conversion of any Series A-3 Preferred Share shall be the quotient of the Original Series A-3 Issue Price divided by the then-effective Series A-3 Conversion Price; (4) the number of Ordinary Shares to which a holder shall be entitled upon conversion of any Series B Preferred Share shall be the quotient of the Original Series B Issue Price divided by the then-effective Series B Conversion Price; (5) the number of Ordinary Shares to which a holder shall be entitled upon conversion of any Series C Preferred Share shall be the quotient of the Original Series C Issue Price divided by the then-effective Series C Conversion Price; and (6) the number of Ordinary Shares to which a holder shall be entitled upon conversion of any Series D Preferred Share shall be the quotient of the Original Series D Issue Price divided by the then-effective Series D Conversion Price. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the provisions of Clause 9(d)(v), the initial conversion ratio for Series A-1 Preferred Shares to Ordinary Shares shall be 1:1, the initial conversion ratio for Series A-2 Preferred Shares to Ordinary Shares shall be 1:1, the initial conversion ratio for Series A-3 Preferred Shares to Ordinary Shares shall be 1:1; the initial conversion ratio for Series B Preferred Shares to Ordinary Shares shall be 1:1; the initial conversion ratio for Series C Preferred Shares to Ordinary Shares shall be 1:1; and the initial conversion ratio for Series D Preferred Shares to Ordinary Shares shall be 1:1, each subject to adjustment based on adjustments of the Series A-1 Conversion Price, Series A-2 Conversion Price, Series A-3 Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price, Series C Conversion Price or Series D Conversion Price, as applicable (the “Applicable Conversion Price” and each a “Conversion Price”), as set forth below:

 

  (i) Optional Conversion.

 

  (1) Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Clause 9(d)(i), and subject to compliance with the requirements of the Act, any Preferred Share may, at the option of the holder thereof, be converted at any time into fully-paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares based on the then-effective Applicable Conversion Price.

 

8


  (2) The holder of any Preferred Shares who desires to convert such shares into Ordinary Shares shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Preferred Shares, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such holder has elected to convert such shares. Such notice shall state the number of Preferred Shares being converted. Thereupon, the Company shall promptly issue and deliver to such holder at such office a certificate or certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the holder is entitled. No fractional Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, and the number of Ordinary Shares to be so issued to a holder of Preferred Shares upon the conversion of such Preferred Shares (after aggregating all fractional Ordinary Shares that would be issued to such holder) shall be rounded to the nearest whole share (with one-half being rounded upward). Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of the surrender of the certificates representing the Preferred Shares to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Ordinary Shares on such date.

 

  (ii) Automatic Conversion.

 

  (1) Without any action being required by the holder of such share and whether or not the certificates representing such share are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent, the Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into Ordinary Shares upon the closing of a Qualified IPO, based on the then-effective Applicable Conversion Price.

 

9


  (2) The Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates for any Ordinary Shares issuable upon the automatic conversion of any Preferred Shares unless the certificate or certificates evidencing such Preferred Shares is either delivered as provided below to the Company or any transfer agent for the Preferred Shares, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificate. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of certificates for Preferred Share, or satisfactory agreement for indemnification in the case of a lost certificate, promptly issue and deliver at its office to the holder thereof a certificate or certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the holder is entitled. No fractional Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, and the number of Ordinary Shares to be so issued to a holder of converting Preferred Share (after aggregating all fractional Ordinary Shares that would be issued to such holder) shall be rounded to the nearest whole share (with one-half being rounded upward). Any person entitled to receive Ordinary Shares issuable upon the automatic conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Ordinary Shares on the date of such conversion.

 

  (iii) Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion hereunder of any Preferred Share (the “Conversion Share”) shall be effected in the following manner:

 

  (1) The Company shall redeem the Conversion Share for aggregate consideration (the “Redemption Amount”) equal to (a) the aggregate par value of any capital shares of the Company to be issued upon such conversion and (b) the aggregate value, as determined by the Board, of any other assets which are to be distributed upon such conversion.

 

  (2) Concurrent with the redemption of the Conversion Share, the Company shall apply the Redemption Amount for the benefit of the holder of the Conversion Share to pay for any capital shares of the Company issuable, and any other assets distributable, to such holder in connection with such conversion.

 

  (3) Upon application of the Redemption Amount, the Company shall issue to the holder of the Conversion Share all capital shares issuable, and distribute to such holder all other assets distributable, upon such conversion.

 

10


  (iv) Initial Conversion Price. The “Series A-1 Conversion Price” shall initially equal the Original Series A-1 Issue Price, the “Series A-2 Conversion Price” shall initially equal the Original Series A-2 Issue Price, the “Series A-3 Conversion Price” shall initially equal the Original Series A-3 Issue Price, the “Series B Conversion Price” shall initially equal the Original Series B Issue Price, the “Series C Conversion Price” shall initially equal the Original Series C Issue Price and the “Series D Conversion Price” shall initially equal the Original Series D Issue Price, each of which shall be adjusted from time to time as provided below in Clause 9(d)(v).

 

  (v) Adjustments to Conversion Price.

 

  (1) Adjustment for Share Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time, or from time to time, effect a subdivision of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. Conversely, if the Company shall at any time, or from time to time, combine the outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

  (2) Adjustment for Ordinary Share Dividends and Distributions. If the Company makes (or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive) a dividend or other distribution to the holders of Ordinary Shares payable in Additional Ordinary Shares, the Applicable Conversion Price then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance (or in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date) by multiplying such Applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of Ordinary Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

  (3) Adjustments for Other Dividends. If the Company at any time, or from time to time, makes (or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive) a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company other than Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that, upon conversion of any Preferred Share thereafter, the holder thereof shall receive, in addition to the number of Ordinary Shares issuable thereon, the amount of securities of the Company which the holder of such share would have received had the Preferred Shares been converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to such event, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

11


  (4) Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations, Reclassifications, Exchanges, Substitutions. If at any time, or from time to time, any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Ordinary Shares (other than as a result of a share dividend, subdivision, split or combination otherwise treated above) occurs or the Company is consolidated, merged or amalgamated with or into another Person (other than a consolidation, merger or amalgamation treated as a Liquidation Event), then in any such event, provision shall be made so that, upon conversion of any Preferred Share thereafter, the holder thereof shall receive the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which the holder of such share would have received had the Preferred Shares been converted into Ordinary Shares on the date of such event, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein, or with respect to such other securities or property, in accordance with any terms applicable thereto.

 

  (5) Sale of Shares below the Conversion Price.

 

  (A) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Ordinary Shares.

 

  (i) In the event the Company shall at any time after the Series D Original Issue Date or the Series C Original Issue Date, as the case may be, issue Additional Ordinary Shares, without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series D Conversion Price or the Series C Conversion Price, as the case may be, in effect immediately prior to such issue (the “New Subscription Price”), then the Applicable Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to the New Subscription Price; provided however, that in the event of an IPO of the Company where the pre-money market capitalization of the Company (based on the price per share offered to the public in such offering) is less than US$2,100,000,000, this Clause 9(d)(v)(5) shall not apply.

 

12


  (ii) In the event the Company shall at any time after the Series A-1 Original Issue Date, the Series A-2 Original Issue Date, the Series A-3 Original Issue Date or the Series B Original Issue Date, as the case may be, issue Additional Ordinary Shares, without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series A-1 Conversion Price, the Series A-2 Conversion Price, the Series A-3 Conversion Price or the Series B Conversion Price, as the case may be, in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Applicable Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP2 = CP1 * (A + B) / (A + C).

 

  (iii) For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

 

  (aa) CP2 shall mean the Series A-1 Conversion Price, the Series A-2 Conversion Price, the Series A-3 Conversion Price, or the Series B Conversion Price, as the case may be in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Ordinary Shares;

 

  (bb) CP1 shall mean the Series A-1 Conversion Price, the Series A-2 Conversion Price, the Series A-3 Conversion Price, or the Series B Conversion Price, as the case may be in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Ordinary Shares;

 

  (cc) “A” shall mean the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Ordinary Shares, treating for this purpose as outstanding all Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Equity Securities (including the Preferred Shares) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding Ordinary Share Equivalents therefor) immediately prior to such issue;

 

13


  (dd) “B” shall mean the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been issued if such Additional Ordinary Shares had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issue by CP1); and

 

  (ee) “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Ordinary Shares issued in such transaction.

 

  (B) Determination of Consideration. For the purpose of making any adjustment to any Conversion Price or the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, as provided above:

 

  (i) To the extent it consists of cash, the consideration received by the Company for any issue or sale of securities shall be computed at the net amount of cash received by the Company after deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions, compensations, discounts or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection with such issue or sale;

 

  (ii) To the extent it consists of property other than cash, consideration other than cash received by the Company for any issue or sale of securities shall be computed at the fair market value thereof (as determined in good faith by a majority of the Board, including the affirmative vote of at least one (1) AIL Director, one (1) Matrix Director, the Sequoia Director and the Yunfeng Director), as of the date of the adoption of the resolution specifically authorizing such issue or sale, irrespective of any accounting treatment of such property; and

 

  (iii) If Additional Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for Additional Ordinary Shares are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, the consideration received for the Additional Ordinary Shares or such Ordinary Share Equivalents shall be computed as that portion of the consideration received (as determined in good faith by a majority of the Board, including the affirmative vote of at least one (1) AIL Director, one (1) Matrix Director, the Sequoia Director and the Yunfeng Director) to be allocable to such Additional Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents.

 

14


  (C) No Exercise. If all of the rights to exercise, convert or exchange any Ordinary Share Equivalents shall expire without any of such rights having been exercised, the Applicable Conversion Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such Ordinary Share Equivalents shall be readjusted to the Applicable Conversion Price which would have been in effect had such adjustment not been made.

 

  (6) Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur as to which the other provisions of this Clause 9(d) are not strictly applicable, but the failure to make any adjustment to any Conversion Price would not fairly protect the conversion rights of the applicable series of Preferred Shares in accordance with the essential intent and principles hereof, then, in each such case, the Company, in good faith, shall determine the appropriate adjustment to be made, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Clause 9(d) necessary to preserve, without dilution, the conversion rights of such series of Preferred Shares.

 

  (7) Certificate of Adjustment. In the case of any adjustment or readjustment of a Conversion Price, the Company, at its sole expense, shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of such series of Preferred Shares at such holder’s address as shown in the Company’s books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company for any Additional Ordinary Shares issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (ii) the number of Additional Ordinary Shares issued or sold or deemed to be issued or sold, (iii) the Applicable Conversion Price in effect before and after such adjustment or readjustment, and (iv) the number of Ordinary Shares and the type and amount, if any, of other property which would be received upon conversion of such series of Preferred Shares after such adjustment or readjustment.

 

15


  (8) Notice of Record Date. In the event the Company shall propose to take any action of the type or types requiring an adjustment to a Conversion Price or the number or character of the Preferred Shares as set forth herein, the Company shall give notice to the holders of such series of Preferred Shares, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Applicable Conversion Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon the occurrence of such action or deliverable upon the conversion of Preferred Shares. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least twenty (20) days prior to the date so fixed, and in the case of all other actions, such notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the taking of such proposed action.

 

  (9) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Share. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Preferred Shares, the Company 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 purpose.

 

  (10) Notices. Any notice required or permitted pursuant to this Clause 9(d) shall be given in writing and shall be given either personally or by sending it by next-day or second-day courier service, fax, electronic mail or similar means to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company. Where a notice is sent by next-day or second-day courier service, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and sending by next-day or second-day service through an internationally-recognized courier a letter containing the notice, with a confirmation of delivery, and to have been effected at the expiration of two (2) days after the letter containing the same is sent as aforesaid. Where a notice is sent by fax or electronic mail, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, and sending such notice through a transmitting organization, with a written confirmation of delivery, and to have been effected on the day the same is sent as aforesaid.

 

16


  (11) Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon income) and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issue or delivery of Ordinary Shares upon conversion of Preferred Shares, excluding any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Ordinary Shares in a name other than that in which the Preferred Share so converted were registered.

 

  (e) Redemption

 

  (i) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Clause 9, the Preferred Shares shall be redeemable at the option of holders of the Preferred Shares as provided herein:

 

  (1) Optional Redemption Date. At any time after (i) the fourth (4) anniversary of the Closing (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement), each holder of the then outstanding Series D Preferred Shares, (ii) October 8, 2017, each holder of the then outstanding Series C Preferred Shares, or (iii) December 31, 2016, each holder of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares, may require that the Company redeem all of its Preferred Shares, in accordance with the following terms.

  (i) Issue, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any equity securities, security convertible into or exercisable for any equity securities, assets or good will of any Group Company to, or merge, amalgamate or consolidate any Group Company with or into Tencent Holdings Limited, or any Person controlled by Tencent Holdings Limited (the “Tencent Group”) (notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the opening paragraph of this Clause, AIL has the absolute right to withhold its approval of the actions set forth in this subsection (i) for any reason whatsoever); it being understood for purposes of this Clause 9(f)(B)(i), “control” refers to management rights, ownership of more than 50% of equity or voting rights.

 

  (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tencent Group enters into a written term sheet or other similar document (the “Tencent Offer”) with the Company through bona fide negotiations for a Sale of the Company, pursuant to which, the Company has received a non-refundable deposit (unless to be otherwise refunded in the form of the Tencent Indemnification under the second paragraph of this Section) in an amount of no less than 2.5% of the total consideration of the transaction under the Tencent Offer (the “Tencent Deposit”), the Company shall deliver a written notice to AIL, describing material terms of Tencent Offer, with a copy of the executed Tencent Offer (the “Sale Notice”) and bank statement or other evidence on receipt of the Tencent Deposit (the “Evidence of Receipt”). AIL shall have the right of first refusal to purchase all such equity interests, securities or assets proposed to be purchased by Tencent Group on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Tencent Offer (the “AIL Option”), by paying a deposit in the same amount as the Tencent Deposit to the Company within twenty-five (25) calendar days after its receipt of the Sale Notice and the Evidence of Receipt (the “AIL Notice Period”), provided that the Company shall have first entered into a written term sheet or other similar document with AIL (the “AIL Offer”).

If AIL decides to exercise the AIL Option, all the commercially reasonable indemnification, penalty and other similar payment payable by the Company and the shareholders of the Company (if the shareholders are parties to the Tencent Offer) to Tencent Group under the Tencent Offer for not completing the transaction contemplated thereunder (the “Tencent Indemnification”), the total amount of which shall be no more than the Tencent Deposit plus its accrued interests during the AIL Notice Period, if any, calculated using the then effective base demand deposit interest rate published by the People’s Bank of China, shall be borne by the Company.

If the transaction is not completed due to reasons other than AIL’s failure to comply with the AIL Offer or the terms and conditions set forth in the AIL Purchase Agreement, the Company shall refund the deposit paid by AIL, plus its accrued interests calculated using the then effective base demand deposit interest rate published by the People’s Bank of China.

If AIL decides not to exercise the AIL Option, or fails to pay the deposit to the Company pursuant to the AIL Offer within the AIL Notice Period, the Company can proceed with the transaction with Tencent Group upon terms and conditions not more favorable than those set forth in the Sale Notice. If the Company does not enter into any definitive transaction agreement with Tencent Group within the sixty (60) calendar days following the expiration of the AIL Notice Period, or if such agreement is not consummated within ninety (90) calendar days of the execution thereof, AIL’s right of first refusal provided under this Clause 9(f)(B) shall be deemed to be revived and the Company shall re-deliver a Sale Notice to AIL in accordance with this Clause 9(f)(B).

(C) For the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholders agree that without the prior written consent of each holder of the Series B Preferred Shares, the Series C Preferred Shares or the Series D Preferred Shares, as applicable, no Shareholder shall pass resolutions or otherwise take actions to amend, alter or repeal rights, privileges and obligations of the Series B Preferred Shares, Series C Preferred Shares or Series D Preferred Shares, as applicable, or any holder of the Series B Preferred Shares, Series C Preferred Shares or Series D Preferred Shares hereunder, it being understood that rounds of investors further to the current Series A, B, C and D are not deemed to constitute the above amendment, alteration or repeal.

(D) The Shareholders acknowledge and agree that (a) the name “Sequoia Capital” is commonly used to describe a variety of entities (collectively, the “Sequoia Entities”) that are affiliated by ownership or operational relationship and engaged in a broad range of activities related to investing and securities trading and (b) notwithstanding any other provision in the Memorandum or these Articles to the contrary, the Memorandum or these Articles shall not be binding on, or restrict the activities of, any (i) Sequoia Entity outside of the Sequoia China Sector Group or (ii) entity primarily engaged in investment and trading in the secondary securities market.

4. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.

 

4.1 Right of First Offer.

Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 4.1 and applicable securities laws, in the event the Company proposes to offer or sell any Additional Equity Securities, the Company shall first make an offering of such Additional Equity Securities (the “Offered Securities”) to the Founder Holdcos and the Investors (the “Offerees”) in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 4.1. Any Offeree shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted to it among their partners, members and Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.

 

  (a) The Company shall deliver a notice, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4 hereof, (the “Offer Notice”) to the Offerees stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Offered Securities, (ii) the number of such Offered Securities to be offered to the Offerees, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Offered Securities.

 

  (b) By written notification received by the Company, within twenty (20) calendar days after mailing of the Offer Notice, each Offeree may elect to purchase or obtain its pro-rata share of the Offered Securities, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice. For purpose of this Section 4.1(b), the “pro-rata share” shall be the ratio of (a) the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by such Offeree, bearing to (b) the total number of Ordinary Shares of the Company (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) then outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of Additional Equity Securities. The Company shall promptly, in writing, inform each Offeree that elects to purchase all the shares available to it (each, a “Fully-Exercising Holder”) of any other Offeree’s failure to do likewise. During the ten (10) day-period commencing immediately after receipt of such information, each Fully-Exercising Holder shall be entitled to obtain that portion of the Offered Securities for which any of the Offerees were entitled to subscribe but which were not subscribed for by the Offerees which is equal to the proportion calculated by dividing the number of Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares then held by such Fully-Exercising Holder by the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares then held by all Fully-Exercising Holders who wish to purchase such unsubscribed Offered Securities.

  (c) If all Offered Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or obtained as provided in Section 4.1(b) hereof, the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the period provided in Section 4.1(b) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such Offered Securities (collectively, the “Refused 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 Offered 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 Offered Securities shall not be offered to any Person unless first reoffered to the Offerees in accordance with this Section 4.1.

  (b) in the event that the Sale of the Company is to be effected by the sale of Shares held by another Shareholder (the “Selling Shareholder”), should be obliged to sell all shares of the Company beneficially held by such Shareholder (or in the event that the Selling Shareholder is selling fewer than all of its shares held in the Company, shares in the same proportion as the Selling Shareholder is selling) to the person to whom the Selling Shareholder propose to sell its shares, for the same per-share consideration (on an as-converted basis) and on the same terms and conditions as the Selling Shareholder, except that the Shareholder will not be required to sell its shares unless the liability for indemnification, if any, of the Shareholder in such Sale of the Company is several, not joint, and is pro rata in accordance with the Shareholder’s relative share ownership of the Company, and will not exceed the consideration payable to the Shareholder, if any, in such transaction (except in the case of potential liability for fraud or willful misconduct by the Shareholder);

6. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, CO-SALE AND RESTRICTIONS ON SALE.

 

6.1 Restrictions on Transfer.

 

  (a) Transfer of Shares.

Subject to Section 6.6, any proposed assignment, sale, offer to sell, pledge, mortgage, hypothecation, encumbrance, disposition of or any other like transfer or encumbering, through one or a series of transactions, of any interest in any Shares now or hereafter owned or held by a Shareholder, either directly or indirectly (in each case, a “Proposed Transfer”) shall be made in compliance with the terms of this Section 6. For avoidance of doubt, any change in the equity interest of a non-Investor Shareholder that is an entity, including without limitation as a result of (i) the issuance or redemption by such non-Investor Shareholder of any portion of its outstanding shares or equity, or (ii) a transfer of such non-Investor Shareholder’s equity by its equity holder, shall constitute a “Proposed Transfer” for purposes of this Agreement.

 

10


  (b) Prohibition on Transfer of Ordinary Shares.

In addition to the restrictions set forth in Sections 6.2 and 6.3, from the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the date that is thirty-six (36) months following the Closing and (ii) the consummation of a Qualified IPO, each of the Founder Holdcos agrees and undertakes to the Investors that it will not sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer any Ordinary Shares of the Company and each of the Founders agrees and undertakes to the Investors that it will not dilute any beneficial ownership, control and discretion over any Ordinary Shares of the Company, either directly or through the Founder Holdco legally and beneficially owned by such Founder, without an affirmative vote by at least two thirds (2/3) of the Directors (including at least one (1) AIL Director, one (1) Matrix Director, the Sequoia Director and the Yunfeng Director). Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to compliance by a prospective transferee with the requirements of Section 8.10(b), the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 6 shall not apply to

 

  (i) a transfer in connection with a Sale of the Company as provided in Section 5.4;

 

  (ii) an exempt transfer that meets the requirements set forth in Section 6.6.

For avoidance of doubt, any proposed direct or indirect transfer by a Founder of an equity interest in any Ordinary Shares, including without limitation any transfer or issuance of an equity interest in the Founder Holdco legally and beneficially owned by such Founder, shall constitute a transfer for purposes of this Section 6.1(b).

 

6.2 Right of First Refusal.

 

  (a) Grant.

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and any other applicable Law, each Shareholder (each a “Transferor”) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the other non-transferring Shareholders (each an “Eligible Holder”) a right of first refusal (the “Right of First Refusal”) to purchase its pro-rata share of the Shares to be included in a Proposed Transfer (the “Transfer Shares”) at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to the proposed transferee (the “Prospective Transferee”); provided, however, that the shareholding percentage of AIL in the Company after exercising its Right of First Refusal shall be no more than 25% (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis). In the event that the shareholding percentage of AIL in the Company shall be in excess of 25% (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) solely due to exercising its Right of First Refusal under this Section 6.2(a), prior consent from Tang Yan shall be required. For purpose of this Section 6.2(a), the “pro-rata share” shall be the ratio of (i) the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by each Eligible Holder, to (ii) the total number of Ordinary Shares of the Company (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by all Eligible Holders immediately prior to the Proposed Transfer. Each Eligible Holder shall be entitled to apportion the Right of First Refusal granted to it under this Section 6.2 among its partners, members and Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other agreement that may have been entered into by a Shareholder with the Company that contains a preexisting right of first refusal, the terms of this Agreement shall control and the preexisting right of first refusal shall be deemed satisfied by compliance with this Section 6.2(a).

 

11


  (b) Notice.

Each Transferor must deliver a notice (the “Proposed Transfer Notice”) to the Company and the Eligible Holders not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the proposed closing date of such Proposed Transfer as set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice. Such Proposed Transfer Notice shall contain the material terms and conditions of the Proposed Transfer, amount of Shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed closing date of such Proposed Transfer and the identity of the Prospective Transferee.

 

  (c) To exercise its respective Right of First Refusal, an Eligible Holder must deliver a notice (an “Exercise Notice”) to the Transferor and the Company within ten (10) days (the “Investor Notice Period”) after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice. Such right shall at all times be exercised in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act and any other applicable Laws. Failure by an Eligible Holder to give notice within the Investor Notice Period shall be deemed to constitute a decision by the Investor not to exercise its Right of First Refusal.

 

  (d) Undersubscription of Transfer Shares.

If any Eligible Holder does not elect to exercise its Right of First Refusal in full pursuant to Section 6.2(a) by the end of the Investor Notice Period, then the Company shall, immediately after the expiration of the Investor Notice Period, send written notice (the “Undersubscription Notice”) to those Eligible Holders who fully exercised their Right of First Refusal pursuant to Section 6.2(a) within the Investor Notice Period (the “Exercising Eligible Holders”). Each Exercising Eligible Holders shall have an additional option to purchase all or any part of such unsubscribed Transfer Shares (the “Unsubscribed Shares”) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Proposed Transfer Notice. To exercise such option, an Exercising Eligible Holder must deliver a written notice to the Transferor and the Company within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Undersubscription Notice. In the event two or more Exercising Eligible Holders choose to exercise the last-mentioned option for a total number of Shares in excess of the Unsubscribed Shares, the Unsubscribed Shares shall be allocated to the Exercising Eligible Holders pro rata based on the number of Shares such Exercising Eligible Holders have elected to purchase. If all Transfer Shares are purchased in full by the Exercising Eligible Holders, the Company shall immediately notify all of the Eligible Holders of that fact.

 

12


  (e) Consideration; Closing.

If the consideration proposed to be paid for the Transfer Shares is in property, services or other non-cash consideration, the fair market value of the consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Board. If any Eligible Holder cannot, for any reason, pay for the Transfer Shares, in the same form of non-cash consideration, such Eligible Holder may pay the cash value equivalent thereof, as determined by the Board. The closing of the purchase of the Transfer Shares by the Eligible Holder shall take place, and all payments from the Eligible Holders shall have been delivered to the Transferor, by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice as the intended closing date of the Proposed Transfer and (ii) forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Proposed Transfer Notice.

 

6.3 Right of Co-Sale.

 

  (a) If any Transfer Shares subject to a Proposed Transfer are not purchased pursuant to Section 6.2 above (the “Co-Sale Eligible Shares”), each Eligible Holder who has not exercised its rights under Section 6.2 (each, a “Co-Sale Eligible Holder”) may elect to exercise its right of co-sale (a “Right of Co-Sale”) and participate on a pro-rata basis in the Proposed Transfer on the same terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice. To exercise its Right of Co-Sale, the Co-Sale Eligible Holder must give the Transferor and the Company written notice to that effect within fifteen (15) calendar days (the “Co-Sale Period”) after receiving the Proposed Transfer Notice as provided in Section 6.2(b), and upon giving such notice the Co-Sale Eligible Holder shall be deemed to have effectively exercised its respective Right of Co-Sale.

 

  (b) Each Co-Sale Eligible Holder, by timely exercising its Right of Co-Sale (each Co-Sale Eligible Holder exercising its Right of Co-Sale, an “Exercising Co-Sale Holder”), may include in the Proposed Transfer all or any part of its Shares not to exceed the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Co-Sale Eligible Shares by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares owned by such Exercising Co-Sale Holder immediately before consummation of the Proposed Transfer and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares owned by the Transferor and all Exercising Co-Sale Holders immediately prior to the consummation of the Proposed Transfer. To the extent that one or more of the Co-Sale Eligible Holders exercises such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the number of Co-Sale Eligible Shares that the Transferor may sell in the Proposed Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced.

 

13


  (c) The sale of the Co-Sale Eligible Shares and remaining Transfer Shares shall occur within twenty-five (25) calendar days from the beginning of the Co–Sale Period (the “Co-Sale Closing”). An Exercising Co-Sale Holder shall effect its participation in the Proposed Transfer by delivering to the Transferor at the Co-Sale Closing one or more share certificate(s) together with other necessary documents required by the registered agent of the Company for a share transfer to the Prospective Transferee, which share certificate(s) shall represent:

 

  (i) the number of Ordinary Shares that such Exercising Co-Sale Holder elect to include in the Proposed Transfer; or

 

  (ii) the number of the Preferred Shares that are at such time convertible into the number of Ordinary Shares that such Exercising Co-Sale Holder elects to include in the Proposed Transfer; provided, however, that if the Prospective Transferee objects to the delivery of convertible Preferred Shares in lieu of Ordinary Shares, such Exercising Co-Sale Holder shall first convert the Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares and deliver Ordinary Shares as provided above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with and contingent upon the actual transfer of such shares to the Prospective Transferee.

 

  (d) The terms and conditions of any sale pursuant to this Section 6.3 will be contained in, and governed by, a written purchase and sale agreement with customary terms and provisions for such a transaction.

 

  (e) The securities to be sold by the Transferor and the Exercising Co-Sale Holders pursuant to this Section 6.3 will be transferred to the Prospective Transferee against payment therefor pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice and the purchase and sale agreement set forth in Section 6.3(d), and the Transferor shall remit to each Exercising Co-Sale Holders of the sale proceeds to which such Exercising Co-Sale Holders is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. If any Prospective Transferee refuses to purchase securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from any Exercising Co-Sale Holder, no Transferor may sell any Transfer Shares to such Prospective Transferee unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Transferor purchases all securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from such Exercising Co-Sale Holders.

 

  (f) For avoidance of doubt, the Right of Co–Sale shall not apply with respect to Transfer Shares sold or to be sold to the Eligible Holders under the Right of First Refusal in Section 6.2.

 

6.4 Proposed Transfer—Compliance Period.

If any Proposed Transfer is not consummated within seventy-five (75) days after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice by the Company and the Eligible Holders, the Transferor proposing to make a Proposed Transfer may not sell any Transfer Shares unless such Transferor complies in full with each provision of this Section 6. The exercise or election not to exercise any right by the Investors hereunder shall not adversely affect its right to participate in any other sales of Transfer Shares subject to this Section 6.

 

14


6.5 Effect of Failure to Comply.

 

  (a) Any Proposed Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement (including without limitation this Section 6) shall be null and void ab initio, shall not be recorded on the books or register of the Company or its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. Each Party hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement would result in substantial harm to the other Parties hereto for which monetary damages alone could not adequately compensate. Therefore, the Parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree that any non-breaching Party hereto shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of purchases, sales and other transfers of Shares not made in strict compliance with this Agreement).

 

  (b) If any Founder becomes obligated to sell any Shares to the Company under this Agreement and fails to deliver such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, send to such Founder the purchase price for such Shares as is herein specified and cancel on its books or registers the certificate or certificates representing the Shares to be sold.

 

  (c) If any Founder purports to sell any Shares in contravention of the Right of Co-Sale (a “Prohibited Transfer”), the Investors, in addition to such remedies as may be available by law, in equity or hereunder, is entitled to require such Transferor to purchase Shares from the Investors, as provided below, and such Transferor will be bound by the terms of such option. If a Transferor makes a Prohibited Transfer, the Investors, upon timely exercise of their Right of Co-Sale under Section 6.3, may require such Transferor to purchase from the Investors the type and number of Shares that the Investors would have been entitled to sell to the Prospective Transferee under Section 6.3 had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of Section 6.3. The sale will be made on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as would have applied had the Transferor not made the Prohibited Transfer, except that the sale (including, without limitation, the delivery of the purchase price) must be made within ninety (90) days after the Investors learn of the Prohibited Transfer, as opposed to the timeframe prescribed in Section 6.3. Such Transferor shall also reimburse the Investors for any and all fees and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Investors’ rights under Section 6.3.

 

6.6 Exempt Transfers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Section 6.1(b), Section 6.2 and Section 6.3 shall not apply: (i) to a repurchase of Shares from a Transferor by the Company at a price no greater than that originally paid by such Transferor for such Shares and pursuant to an agreement containing vesting and/or repurchase provisions approved by a majority of the Board, (ii) in the case of a Transferor that is a natural person, upon a transfer of Shares by such Transferor, either during his or her lifetime or on death by will or intestacy, to his or her Immediate Family Members or any other relatives approved by the Board of the Company, or any custodian or trustee for the account of a Transferor or a Transferor’s Immediate Family Members, (iii) the sale of any Shares to the public in a Qualified IPO or in connection with a Sale of the Company, or (iv) subject to Section 7.3(b)(i), any transfer of Shares by an Investor to its Affiliate.

 

15


6.7 Transfer upon Early Termination of Employment

Each Founder hereby confirms and agrees that, in the event such Founder’s employment or consulting relationship with the Company is terminated before April 17, 2015, such Founder shall forfeit 50% of his beneficial equity interest in the Company by transferring 50% of the Ordinary Shares held by the Founder Holdco which is legally and beneficially owned by such Founder to the Company at a price of USD0.0001 per share or such lowest price permitted under applicable Law. In the event such Founder’s employment or consulting relationship with the Company is terminated after April 17, 2015 but before April 17, 2016, such Founder shall forfeit25% of his beneficial equity interest in the Company by transferring 25% of the Ordinary Shares held the Founder Holdco legally and beneficially owned by such Founder to the Company for a price of USD0.0001 per share or such lowest price permitted under applicable Law. For purpose of this Section 6.7, the calculation of number of Ordinary Shares to be transferred pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall be based on the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares held by each Founder Holdco immediately after the Closing. Nothing in this Section 6.7 shall be deemed to limit any rights or remedies available to the Company or any of the Investors in connection with any employment, consulting, service or other agreement entered into by a Founder or Founder Holdco.

 

6.8 Term.

The provisions of this Section 6 (other than Section 6.7) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Qualified IPO and (ii) the occurrence of a Liquidation Event.

  (i) Issue, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any equity securities, security convertible into or exercisable for any equity securities, assets or good will of any Group Company to, or merge, amalgamate or consolidate any Group Company with or into Tencent Holdings Limited, or any Person controlled by Tencent Holdings Limited (the “Tencent Group”) (notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the opening paragraph of this Section, AIL has the absolute right to withhold its approval of the actions set forth in this subsection (i) for any reason whatsoever; it being understood that, solely for purposes of this Section 7.3(b)(i), “control” refers to management rights, ownership of more than 50% of equity or voting rights.

 

  (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tencent Group enters into a written term sheet or other similar document (the “Tencent Offer”) with the Company through bona fide negotiations for a Sale of the Company, pursuant to which, the Company has received a non-refundable deposit (unless to be otherwise refunded in the form of the Tencent Indemnification under the second paragraph of this Section) in an amount of no less than 2.5% of the total consideration of the transaction under the Tencent Offer (the “Tencent Deposit”), the Company shall deliver a written notice to AIL, describing material terms of Tencent Offer, with a copy of the executed Tencent Offer (the “Sale Notice”) and bank statement or other evidence on receipt of the Tencent Deposit (the “Evidence of Receipt”). AIL shall have the right of first refusal to purchase all such equity interests, securities or assets proposed to be purchased by Tencent Group on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Tencent Offer (the “AIL Option”), by paying a deposit in the same amount as the Tencent Deposit to the Company within twenty-five (25) calendar days after its receipt of the Sale Notice and the Evidence of Receipt (the “AIL Notice Period”), provided that the Company shall have first entered into a written term sheet or other similar document with AIL (the “AIL Offer”).

 

20


If AIL decides to exercise the AIL Option, all the commercially reasonable indemnification, penalty and other similar payment payable by the Company and the shareholders of the Company (if the shareholders are parties to the Tencent Offer) to Tencent Group under the Tencent Offer for not completing the transaction contemplated thereunder (the “Tencent Indemnification”), the total amount of which shall be no more than the Tencent Deposit plus its accrued interests during the AIL Notice Period, if any, calculated using the then effective base demand deposit interest rate published by the People’s Bank of China, shall be borne by the Company.

If AIL decides to exercise the AIL Option, but the transaction is not completed solely due to AIL’s failure to comply with the AIL Offer or the terms and conditions set forth in the definitive transaction agreements between AIL and the Company (the “AIL Purchase Agreement”), the Company shall not refund the deposit paid by AIL. If the transaction is not completed due to reasons other than AIL’s failure to comply with the AIL Offer or the terms and conditions set forth in the AIL Purchase Agreement, the Company shall refund the deposit paid by AIL, plus its accrued interests calculated using the then effective base demand deposit interest rate published by the People’s Bank of China.

If AIL decides not to exercise the AIL Option, or fails to pay the deposit to the Company pursuant to the AIL Offer within the AIL Notice Period, the Company can proceed with the transaction with Tencent Group upon terms and conditions not more favorable than those set forth in the Sale Notice. If the Company does not enter into any definitive transaction agreement with Tencent Group within the sixty (60) calendar days following the expiration of the AIL Notice Period, or if such agreement is not consummated within ninety (90) calendar days of the execution thereof, AIL’s right of first refusal provided under this Section 7.3(b) shall be deemed to be revived and the Company shall re-deliver a Sale Notice to AIL in accordance with this Section 7.3(b).

 

21

2.1 Request by Holders.

If the Company shall, at any time after the earlier of (i) the fourth anniversary after the Closing or (ii) following the taking effect of a registration statement for a Qualified IPO, receive a written request from the Holders of at least ten percent (10%) of the Registrable Securities then Outstanding that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of at least ten percent (10%) of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2, (or any lesser percentage if the anticipated gross receipts from the offering are to exceed US$1,000,000) then the Company shall, within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of such written request, give written notice of such request (the “Request Notice”) to all Holders, and use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered and included in such registration by written notice given by such Holders to the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Request Notice, subject only to the limitations of this Section 2; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration if the Company has, within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 2 or Section 4 or in which the Holders had an opportunity to participate pursuant to the provisions of Section 3, other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of the Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Holders requested be included in such registration) pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.2(b) or 3.2(b).

 

 

EXHIBIT B


2.2 Underwriting.

 

  (a) If the Holders initiating the registration request under this Section 2 (the “Initiating Holders”) intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, then they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2 and the Company shall include such information in the Request Notice. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and reasonably acceptable to the Company.

 

  (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced as required by the underwriter(s) and allocated (i) first, to the Investors on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities then Outstanding held by the Investors requesting registration and (ii) then, to the other Holders of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities then Outstanding held by each such Holder requesting registration; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration including, without limitation, all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person, including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; provided further, that at least twenty-five percent (25%) of shares of Registrable Securities requested by the Holders to be included in such underwriting and registration shall be so included. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.

 

2.3 Maximum Number of Demand Registrations.

The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2.

 

 

EXHIBIT B


2.4 Deferral.

A demand right shall not be deemed to have been exercised until such deferred registration shall have been effected.

 

3. Piggyback Registrations.

 

3.1 The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any registration under Section 2 or Section 3 of this Exhibit B or to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization) and shall afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

3.2 Underwriting.

 

  (a) If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 3 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder’s Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.

 

 

EXHIBIT B

If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.

4. Form F-3 Registration.

In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of at least ten percent (10%) of all Registrable Securities then Outstanding a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 (or an equivalent registration in a jurisdiction outside of the United States) and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company will:

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

 

  (b) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than US$1,000,000;

 

  (c) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the president or chief executive officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form F-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form F-3 registration statement no more than once during any twelve (12) month period for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 4; provided that the Company shall not register any of its other shares during such sixty (60) day period.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered, unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then Outstanding agree that such registration constitutes the use by the Holders of one (1) demand registration pursuant to Section 2; provided further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company not known to the Holders at the time of their request for such registration and have withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.

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

EXHIBIT B


and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, its partner, officer, director, legal counsel, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder or any partner, officer, director, counsel, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.

 

8.2 By Selling Holders.

To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, directors, officers, legal counsel or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, legal counsel, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other United States federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 8.2 exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which the applicable Violation arises.

 

 

EXHIBIT B


8.3 Notice.

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnified party under this Section 8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 8 to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8.

 

8.4 Contribution.

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any indemnified party in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 8; then, and in each such case, the indemnified party and the indemnifying party will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand 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. The relative fault of the indemnifying Party and of the indemnified Party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying Party or by the indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case: (A) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds to such Holder from the sale of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

 

EXHIBIT B


8.5 Survival.

The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement, regardless of the expiration of any statutes of limitation or extensions of such statutes. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

9. No Registration Rights to Third Parties.

Without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities then Outstanding, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any person or entity any registration rights of any kind (whether similar to the demand, “piggyback” or Form F-3 registration rights described in this Exhibit B, or otherwise) relating to any securities of the Company which are senior to, or on a parity with, those granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities.

 

10. Rule 144 Reporting.

With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form F-3, after such time as a public market exists for the Ordinary Shares, the Company agrees to:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

EXHIBIT B


11. Market Stand-Off.

Each Shareholder agrees that, so long as it holds any voting securities of the Company, upon request by the Company or the underwriters managing the initial public offering of the Company’s securities, it will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any securities of the Company (other than those permitted to be included in the registration and other transfers to Affiliates permitted by law) without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for a period of time specified by the representative of the underwriters not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration statement covering such initial public offering or the pricing date of such offering as may be requested by the underwriters. The foregoing provision of this Section 11 shall not apply to the sale of any securities of the Company to an underwriter pursuant to any underwriting agreement, and shall only be applicable to the Holders if all officers, directors and holders of one percent (1%) or more of the Company’s outstanding share capital enter into similar agreements, and if the Company or any underwriter releases any officer, director or holder of one percent (1%) or more of the Company’s outstanding share capital from his or her sale restrictions so undertaken, then each Holder shall be notified prior to such release and shall itself be simultaneously released to the same proportional extent. The Company shall require all future acquirers of the Company’s securities holding at least one percent (1%) of the then outstanding share capital of the Company to execute prior to a Qualified IPO a market stand-off agreement containing substantially similar provisions as those contained in this Section 11.
