3.2 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 3:

(a) Registration. The terms “register”, “registered”, and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement under the Securities Act, and the declaration of effectiveness of such registration statement.

The terms “Form S-3” and “Form F-3” means such respective form under the Securities Act as is in effect on the date hereof or any successor or comparable registration form under the Securities Act subsequently adopted by the SEC, which permits inclusion or incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.

3.3 Demand Registration.

(a) Request by Holders. If the Company shall receive, at any time after the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021, or (ii) six (6) month after a Qualified IPO, a written request from the Holders of at least ten percent (10%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company files a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.3, then the Company shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such written request, give a written notice of such request (the “Request Notice”) to all Holders. The Holders shall send a written notice stating the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and included in such registration (the “Request Securities”) to the Company within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Request Notice. The Company shall thereafter use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration of the Request Securities, subject only to the limitations of this Section 3.3.

(b) Underwriting. If the Holders initiating the registration request under this Section 3.3 (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 3.3 and the Company shall include such information in the Request Notice referred to in Section 3.3(a). In the event of an underwritten offering, 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. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.3, 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 among the Holders of Registrable Securities on a pro-rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by each Holder requesting registration (including the Initiating Holders); provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced (x) by more than seventy-five percent (75%) and (y) unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration including all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other Person, including any Person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. Further, if, as a result of such underwriter cutback, the Holders cannot include in the IPO all of the Registrable Securities that they have requested to be included therein, then such Registration shall not be deemed to constitute one of the three (3) demand Registrations to which the Holders are entitled pursuant to this Section 3. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by delivering a 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. For any Holder that is a partnership, the Holder and the partners and retired partners of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, and for any Holder that is a corporation, the Holder and all corporations that are affiliates of such Holder, shall be deemed to be a single “Holder”, and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder”, as defined herein.

 

5


(c) Maximum Number of Demand Registrations. The Company shall have no obligation to effect more than three (3) registrations pursuant to this Section 3.3.

(d) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Holders requesting the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 3.3, a certificate signed by the president or chief executive officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its Shareholders for such registration statement to be filed, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; provided further that during such ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not file any registration statement pertaining to the public offering of any securities of the Company.

(e) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses (excluding only underwriting discounts and commissions and ADS conversion fee relating to the Registrable Securities sold by the Holders) incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section 3.3, including all U.S. federal, “blue sky” and all foreign registration, filing and qualification fees, printer’s and accounting fees, the fees and expenses (including disbursements) of outside counsels for the Holders and any fee charged by any transfer agent or share registrar. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of shares of Registrable Securities sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all discounts and commissions and ADS conversion fee relating to the Registrable Securities sold by the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay any expense of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Section 3.3 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 this Section 3.3 (in which case such registration shall also constitute the use by all Holders of Registrable Securities of one (l) such demand registration); 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, or if the registration proceeding is terminated for any reason not specifically covered by this Section 3.3(e), then the Company shall be required to pay all of such expenses and such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration pursuant to this Section 3.3.

3.4 Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any registration under Section 3.3 or Section 3.5 of this Agreement or to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization) and will 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 such Holder shall within ten (10) Business 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.

(a) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 3.4 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 3.4 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 by the Company for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first to the Company, and second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro-rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder; provided, however, that the right of the underwriter(s) to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities for which inclusion has been requested, even if this will cause the Company to reduce the number of shares it wishes to offer; and (ii) all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other Person, including any Person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by delivering a written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s) 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. For any Holder that is a partnership, the Holder and the partners and retired partners of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, and for any Holder that is a corporation, the Holder and all corporations that are affiliates of such Holder, shall be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

(b) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses (excluding only underwriting and brokers’ discounts and commissions and ADS conversion fee relating to shares sold by the Holders) incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 3.4, including all U.S. federal, “blue sky” and all foreign registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, the fees and expenses (including disbursements) of outside counsels for the Holders and any fee charged by any depositary bank, transfer agent or share registrar. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 3.4 notwithstanding the cancellation or delay of the registration proceeding for any reason.

(c) Not Demand Registration. Registration pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 3.3 above. Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3.4.

3.5 Form S-3 or Form F-3 Registration. After its initial public offering, the Company shall use its best efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or Form F-3 or any comparable or successor form promptly and to maintain such qualification thereafter. If the Company is qualified to use Form S-3 or Form F-3, any Holder or Holders shall have a right to request in writing that the Company effect a registration on either Form S-3 or Form F-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, and upon receipt of each such request, the Company shall perform the tasks set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) below:

(a) Notice. Promptly give written notice of the proposed registration and the Holder’s or Holders’ request therefor, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and

(b) Registration. As soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within twenty (20) days after the date on which the Company provides the notice contemplated by Section 3.5(a); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 3.5:

(i) if Form S-3 or Form F-3 becomes unavailable for such offering by the Holders;

(ii) 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 of less than US$1,000,000 to the public; or

(iii) if the Company has, within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration under the Securities Act other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of 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 Section 3.4(a).

(c) Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses (excluding only underwriting or brokers’ discounts and commissions relating to shares sold by the Holders) incurred in connection with each registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.5, including all U.S. federal, “blue sky” and all foreign registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, the fees and expenses (including disbursements) of outside counsels for the Holders and any fee charged by any depositary bank, transfer agent or share registrar. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 3.5 notwithstanding the cancellation or delay of the registration proceeding for any reason.

(d) Maximum Frequency. Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3.5.

(e) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 3.5, a certificate signed by the president or chief executive officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its Shareholders for such Form S-3 or Form F-3 registration statement to be filed, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; provided further that during such ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not file any registration statement pertaining to the public offering of any securities of the Company.

 

9


(f) Not Demand Registration. Form S-3 or Form F-3 registrations shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 3.3 above.

(g) Underwriting. If the requested registration under this Section 3 is for an underwritten offering, the provisions of Section 3.3(b) shall apply.

If the Company fails to perform any of the Company’s obligations set forth above in this Section 3.5 relating to a demand registration made pursuant to Section 3.3, such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration under Section 3.3.

3.6 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company shall, as soon as practicable:

Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement;

(g) Notification. Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

(b) By Selling Shareholders. To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, on a several and not joint basis, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each Person, if any, who Controls the Company, 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 applicable 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 the Company’s reasonable 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 contained in this Section 3.8(b) 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 the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this Section 3.8(b) plus any amount under Section 3.8(e) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises.

(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 3.8 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 indemnifying party under this Section 3.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof (a “Claim Notice”) 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, (i) during the period from the delivery of a Claim Notice until retention of counsel by the indemnifying party; and (ii) 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 a 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 3.8 to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission to deliver a written notice to the indemnified party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 3.8.

 

12


(d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity of the Company and Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the registration statement in question becomes effective or the amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was timely furnished to the indemnified party and was not furnished to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act.

(e) 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 Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling Person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.8 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 3.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling Person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 3.8; then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that, in any such case: (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement absent guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and (B) no Person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation as defined in 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.

(f) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 3.8 shall survive for six (6) years after 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.

 

13


3.9 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:

3.10 Termination of the Companys Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligations pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 with respect to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registered public offering (i) five (5) years after the consummation of a Qualified IPO, or (ii), if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all such Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder may then be sold under Rule 144 in one transaction without exceeding the volume limitations thereunder.

3.11 No Registration Rights to Third Parties. Without the prior written consent of the Majority Preferred Holders, 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 S-3 or Form F-3 registration rights described in this Section 3, or otherwise, relating to any shares or other securities of the Company, other than rights that are subordinate to the rights of the Holders hereunder.

3.12 Market Stand-Off Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that, if and to the extent requested by the lead underwriter of securities of the Company in connection with a registration relating to a specific proposed public offering (other than a registration on Form S-8 or a related or successor form relating solely to an employee benefit plan or a registration on Form S-4 or a related or successor form relating solely to a transaction under SEC Rule 145), such Holder will, subject to the following conditions, enter into a lock-up or standoff agreement in customary form (subject to the following conditions) under which such Holder agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities or other shares of the Company owned by such Holder as of the date of such registration for up to one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the related registration statement. The obligations of each Holder under this Section 3.12 are subject to the following conditions: (i) the lockup or standoff agreement applies only to the first registration statement of the Company which covers securities to be sold on its behalf to the public in an underwritten offering, but not to Registrable Securities actually sold pursuant to such registration statement; (ii) such Holder is satisfied that all directors, officers, and holders of 1% or more of any class of securities of the Company are bound by substantially identical restrictions; (iii) the lockup or standoff agreement provides that if any securities of the Company are to be excluded or released in whole or part from such restrictions, the underwriter shall so notify each Holder within three (3) days and each Holder shall be excluded or released, in proportionate amounts to the extent of the exclusion or release with respect to any other holder of Company’s securities, including any director, officer, or holder of 1% or more of any class of securities of the Company subject to such restrictions; and (iv) the lockup or standoff agreement by its terms permits transfers of Registrable Securities by any Holder to any Affiliate of such Holder during the restricted period, provided that such Affiliate executes a lock-up or standoff agreement substantively identical to that signed by the transferring Holder. The lock-up or standoff agreement shall expire no later than ninety (90) days after execution by the Holder if no underwritten public offering has occurred by the date of such execution. The Company may impose a stop-transfer restriction with respect to Registrable Securities that are that are subject to any such lockup or standoff agreement, but shall remove such restriction immediately upon the expiration or termination of such lockup or standoff agreement.

3.13 Public Offering Rights (Non-U.S. Offerings). If shares of the Company are offered in an underwritten public offering (whether or not a Qualified IPO) outside of the United States for the account of any Ordinary Shareholder or other Shareholders, each Holder shall have the right to include a pro-rata number of shares (based on the number of shares (on an as - converted basis) then held by such Holder and all other Shareholders of the Company selling in such offering) in such offering on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Holders than to any other selling shareholder.

3.14 Re-sale Rights. The Company shall use its best efforts to assist each Holder in the sale or disposition of its Registrable Securities after a Qualified IPO, including the prompt delivery of applicable instruction letters by the Company and legal opinions from the Company’s counsels in forms reasonably satisfactory to the Holder’s counsel.

RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION.

4.1 With Respect to Issuance of New Securities:

(a) General. Each holder of Shares (the “Participation Rights Holders”, and each a “Participation Rights Holder”) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase its Pro Rata Share of all or any part of the New Securities that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement (the “Right of Participation”). Each Participation Rights Holder shall be entitled to apportion its Right of Participation hereby granted to it among itself and its Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.

(b) Pro Rata Share. A Participation Rights Holder’s “Pro Rata Share” for purposes of the Right of Participation is the ratio of (a) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) then held by such Participation Rights Holder, to (b) the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) then outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities giving rise to the Right of Participation.

 

15


(c) New Securities. “New Securities” shall mean any Preferred Shares, Ordinary Shares or other voting shares of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase such Preferred Shares, Ordinary Shares and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into such Preferred Shares, Ordinary Shares or other voting shares, provided, however, that the term “New Securities” shall not include:

(i) any Series E Preferred Shares of the Company issued pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreements;

(ii) any Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the Series Angel Preferred Shares, the Series A Preferred Shares, the Series B Preferred Shares, the Series C Preferred Shares, the Series C+ Preferred Shares, the Series C++ Preferred Shares, the Series D Preferred Shares and/or the Series E Preferred Shares;

(iii) any securities issued in connection with any share split, share dividend or other similar event in which all Participation Rights Holders are entitled to participate on a pro rata basis;

(iv) in the aggregate up to 119,922,812 Class A Ordinary Shares (subject to adjustments made for share splits, share subdivision, share combination and the like) issued or issuable to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company pursuant to any equity plan or incentive arrangement approved by the Board (including the affirmative votes of the Preferred Directors);

(v) those issued as a dividend or distribution on Preferred Shares or any event for which adjustment is made;

(vi) any securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Company by consolidation, merger, purchase of assets, or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, a majority of the assets, voting power or equity ownership of such other corporation or entity, as duly approved by the Board or the shareholders’ meeting of the Company, as applicable, in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof; and

(vii) any securities offered in a Qualified IPO or an underwritten registered public offering by the Company, as duly approved by the Majority Preferred Holders.

(d) Procedures.

(i) First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, it shall give each Participation Rights Holder a written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the amount, the type and the price of New Securities and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Participation Rights Holder shall be entitled to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of all or any part of such New Securities at the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the First Participation Notice by giving a written notice to the Company and stating therein the number of New Securities to be purchased (such number shall not exceed such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share) within twenty (20) Business Days from the date of such First Participation Notice. If any Participation Rights Holder fails to send such written notice within the prescribed time period or declines to exercise fully its Right of Participation, then the right of such Participation Rights Holder to purchase its Pro Rata Share hereunder shall be forfeited.

 

16


(ii) Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription. If any Participation Rights Holder fails or declines to exercise fully its Right of Participation in accordance with subsection (d)(i) above, the Company shall promptly give a written notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to the other Participation Rights Holders who agreed to exercise their Right of Participation in full (the “Rights Participants”) in accordance with subsection (d)(i) above. Each Rights Participant shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of the Second Participation Notice (the “Second Participation Period”) to notify the Company of its desire to purchase more than its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, stating the number of the additional New Securities it proposes to purchase. Such notice may be made by telephone if followed by a written confirmation within two (2) Business Days from the date of verbal notice. If as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities available for purchase, the oversubscribing Rights Participants will be cut back by the Company with respect to their oversubscriptions to that number of remaining New Securities equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for oversubscription by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Registrable Securities held by such oversubscribing Rights Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of Registrable Securities held by all the oversubscribing Rights Participants. Each oversubscribing Rights Participant shall be obligated to purchase such number of additional New Securities as determined by the Company pursuant to this subsection (d)(ii) and the Company shall so notify the Rights Participants within fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of the Second Participation Notice.

(e) Failure to Exercise. (i) In the event that none of the Participation Rights Holders exercise fully its Right of Participation in accordance with subsection (d)(i) above, after twenty (20) days following the date of the First Participation Notice, or (ii) upon the expiration of the Second Participation Period, the Company shall have a period of ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the New Securities described in the First Participation Notice (with respect to which the Right of Participation was not fully exercised) at the same price and upon the same non-price terms specified in the First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold such New Securities within such prescribed period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such New Securities to the Participation Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 4.

4.2 With Respect to Class B Ordinary Shares owned by the Founder Holdco and Class A Ordinary Shares owned by 500K Venture Investments Limited:

(a) Restriction on Transfers. Subject to Section 11.1, any Founder Party may not sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of its Class B Ordinary Shares to any Person, whether directly or indirectly, except in compliance with this Section 4.2 and Section 5.

 

17


(b) Notice of Sale. If any Founder Party (only with respect to the Class B Ordinary Shares it holds) or 500K Venture Investments Limited (only with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares it holds, excluding the Class A Ordinary Shares converted and convertible from any Preferred Shares) (the “Selling Shareholder”) proposes to sell or transfer, directly or indirectly, any of its Ordinary Shares (the “Transfer Shares”), then the Selling Shareholder shall promptly give a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to the Company and to each holder of the Preferred Shares (the “Non-Selling Shareholder”), which Transfer Notice shall include (i) the number of Transfer Shares to be sold or transferred and the nature of such sale or transfer, (ii) the identity (identities) (including name(s) and address(es)) of the prospective transferee(s), and (iii) the consideration and the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed sale or transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that the Selling Shareholder has received a firm offer from the prospective transferee(s) and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the sale or transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed transfer. Each holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to apportion its right of first refusal hereby granted to it among itself and its Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.

(c) JDs Right of First Refusal. JD shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of the Transfer Shares at the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice by giving a written notice to the Selling Shareholder within twenty (20) Business Days after the date of the Transfer Notice (the “JDs First Refusal Period”) stating therein the number of Transfer Shares to be purchased. If JD exercises such right and notifies the Selling Shareholder of the number of Transfer Shares to be purchased, then JD shall complete the purchase of the Transfer Shares on the same terms and conditions as those set out in the Transfer Notice. A failure by JD to respond within such prescribed period shall constitute a decision by JD not to exercise its right to purchase such Transfer Shares.

(d) Other Non-Selling Shareholders Right of First Refusal. In the event JD does not exercise its right of first refusal to purchase all of the Transfer Shares within the JD’s First Refusal Period, other Non-Selling Shareholders shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of such Non-Selling Shareholder’s pro rata share of the remaining Transfer Shares at the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice by giving a written notice to the Selling Shareholder within twenty (20) Business Days after the expiration of JD’s First Refusal Period (the “Other Non-Selling Shareholders First Refusal Period”) stating therein the number of Transfer Shares to be purchased. If a Non-Selling Shareholder exercises such right and notifies the Selling Shareholder of the number of Transfer Shares to be purchased, then such Non-Selling Shareholder shall complete the purchase of the Transfer Shares on the same terms and conditions as those set out in the Transfer Notice. A failure by a Non-Selling Shareholder to respond within such prescribed period shall constitute a decision by such Non-Selling Shareholder not to exercise its right to purchase such Transfer Shares. For purposes of this clause (d), each Non-Selling Shareholder’s pro rata share of the Transfer Shares shall be equal to the number of the remaining Transfer Shares, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) held by such Non-Selling Shareholder on the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) held on the date of the Transfer Notice by all Non-Selling Shareholders which exercise their right of first refusal under this clause (d) on the date of the Transfer Notice.

 

18


(e) Second Transfer Notice; Over-Allotment. To the extent that any Non-Selling Shareholder does not exercise its right of first refusal to the full extent to purchase such Non-Selling Shareholder’s pro rata share of the Transfer Shares in accordance with this subsection (d) above, the Selling Shareholder shall deliver written notice thereof (the “Second Transfer Notice”), within two (2) days after the expiration of the Other Non-Selling Shareholders’ First Refusal Period, to each Non-Selling Shareholder (other than JD) that elected to the full extent to purchase such Non-Selling Shareholder’s pro rata share of the Transfer Shares (the “Exercising Holder”). Each Exercising Holder shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of the Second Transfer Notice (the “Second Refusal Period”) to notify the Selling Shareholder of its desire to purchase more than its pro rata share of the Transfer Shares, stating the number of the additional Transfer Shares it proposes to purchase. Such notice may be made by telephone if followed by a written confirmation within two (2) Business Days from the date of verbal notice. If as a result thereof, such over-allotment exceeds the total number of the remaining Transfer Shares available for purchase, the over-purchasing Exercising Holders will be cut back or limited by the Selling Shareholder with respect to their over-allotment to that number of remaining Transfer Shares equal to the lesser of (a) the number of the additional Transfer Shares it proposes to purchase; (b) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining Transfer Shares available for over-purchase by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Class A Ordinary Shares (on an as converted basis) held by such over-purchasing Exercising Holder and the denominator of which is the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares (on an as converted basis) held by all the over-purchasing Exercising Holders. Each over-purchasing Exercising Holder shall be obligated to purchase such number of additional Transfer Shares as determined by the Selling Shareholder pursuant to this subsection (e) and the Selling Shareholder shall so notify such Exercising Holders within fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of the Second Transfer Notice.

(f) Non-Exercise. Subject to the provisions of Section 5, in the event JD and the other Non-Selling Shareholders fail to purchase all of the Transfer Shares within the above-prescribed period, the Selling Shareholder shall have ninety (90) days after delivery of the Transfer Notice to each Non-Selling Shareholder to sell such Transfer Shares at a price upon terms and conditions no more favorable to the transferee than specified in the original Transfer Notice. In the event that the Selling Shareholder has not sold the Transfer Shares within such prescribed period, the Selling Shareholder shall not thereafter sell any Shares without first offering such Shares to the Non-Selling Shareholders in the manner provided in this Section 4 and in Section 5.

(g) Closing. If any Non-Selling Shareholder elects to purchase the Transfer Shares pursuant to this Section 4.2, then the payment for the Transfer Shares to be purchased shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds of the appropriate currency, against delivery of such Transfer Shares to be purchased, at a place and time agreed by the Selling Shareholder and each Non-Selling Shareholder that has elected to purchase all or part of the Transfer Shares.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Preferred Shareholder can freely transfer its Preferred Shares which it holds or may acquire or subscribe for from time to time to any Person other than the Competitors of the Company, without being subject to any restrictions or requirements provided in this Section 4.

5.

CO-SALE RIGHT.

5.1 Co-Sale Right. To the extent any Non-Selling Shareholder (including JD) does not exercise its respective rights of first refusal as to all of the Transfer Shares pursuant to Section 4.2, such Non-Selling Shareholder (including JD) shall have the right, exercisable upon delivery of a written notice to the Selling Shareholder, with a copy to the Company, within twenty (20) Business Days after the date of the Transfer Notice, to participate in the sale of any Transfer Shares to the extent of such Non-Selling Shareholder’s Pro Rata Co-Sale Share at the same price and upon the same terms and conditions indicated in the Transfer Notice. A failure by the Non-Selling Shareholder to respond within such prescribed period shall constitute a decision by such Non-Selling Shareholder not to exercise its right of co-sale as provided herein. To the extent one (1) or more of the Non-Selling Shareholders exercise such right of co-sale in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Transfer Shares that the Selling Shareholder may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced. The foregoing co-sale right of each Non-Selling Shareholder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) each Non-Selling Shareholder may sell all or any part of its Pro Rata Share of the Transfer Shares. A Non-Selling Shareholder’s “Pro Rata Co-Sale Share” of a specified quantity of Transfer Shares shall mean that number of Class A Ordinary Shares (or that number of Preferred Shares which, if converted at the current conversion ratio, would equal that number of Class A Ordinary Shares) which equals the specified quantity of Transfer Shares proposed to be transferred multiplied by a fraction equal to (i) the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares (on an as converted basis) then held by such Non-Selling Shareholder exercising co-sale rights pursuant to this Section 5, divided by (ii) the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares held by the Selling Shareholder plus the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares then held by all Non-Selling Shareholders exercising co-sale rights pursuant to this Section 5, on an as converted basis. As used in this definition, the phrase “on an as converted basis” shall mean assuming conversion of all Preferred Shares but not assuming exercise or conversion of any other outstanding option, any other warrants, or other convertible securities. For the avoidance of doubt, if the total number of Shares any Founder Party sells exceeds thirty percent (30%) of the Shares it, he or she holds as of the date hereof in a single transaction or in a series of transaction in aggregate, or the occurrence of any Trade Sale, each Non-Selling Shareholder shall be entitled to sell all the Shares it holds to the third party in preference to the Selling Shareholder.

(b) each Non-Selling Shareholder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Selling Shareholder, with a copy to the Company, for transfer to the prospective purchaser share certificates in respect of all Shares to be sold by such Non-Selling Shareholder and a transfer form signed by such Non-Selling Shareholder, which indicates:

(i) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares which such Non-Selling Shareholder elects to sell;

(ii) that number of Preferred Shares which is at such time convertible into the number of Class A Ordinary Shares that such Non-Selling Shareholder elects to sell; or

(iii) any combination of the foregoing;

provided, however, that if the prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of Preferred Shares in lieu of Class A Ordinary Shares, such Non-Selling Shareholder shall convert such Preferred Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares and deliver Class A Ordinary Shares. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser.

 

20


5.2 Procedure at Closing. The share certificate or certificates that such Non-Selling Shareholder delivers to the Selling Shareholder pursuant to paragraph 5.1(b) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Transfer Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Selling Shareholder shall concurrently therewith remit to such Non-Selling Shareholder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Non-Selling Shareholder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibit such assignment or otherwise refuse to purchase shares or other securities from a Non-Selling Shareholder exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, the Selling Shareholder shall not sell any Transfer Shares to such prospective purchaser or purchasers unless and until, simultaneously with such sales, the Selling Shareholder shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Non-Selling Shareholder. In selling their Shares pursuant to their co-sale right hereunder, the Non-Selling Shareholders shall not be required to give any representations or warranties with respect to their Shares to be sold except to confirm that they have not transferred or encumbered such Shares.

5.3 Non-Exercise. Subject to Section 4.2, to the extent the Non-Selling Shareholders do not elect to participate in the sale of Transfer Shares pursuant to the Transfer Notice, the Selling Shareholder may, not later than ninety (90) days following delivery of the Transfer Notice to each Non-Selling Shareholder, effect a transfer of the Transfer Shares covered by the Transfer Notice and not elected to be sold by the Non-Selling Shareholders. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions more favorable than those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer of any Shares by the Selling Shareholder, shall be subject to the procedures described in Section 4 and this Section 5.

5.4 Prohibited Transfer.

(a) Prohibited Transfer. In the event a Selling Shareholder should sell any Transfer Shares in disregard or contravention of Section 11.1, or the right of first refusal or co-sale rights under this Agreement (a “Prohibited Transfer”), the Non-Selling Shareholders, in addition to such other remedies as may be available at law, in equity or hereunder, shall have the put option provided below, and such Selling Shareholder shall be bound by the applicable provisions of such option.

(b) Put Right. Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to any Non-Selling Shareholder, in the event of a Prohibited Transfer, each Non-Selling Shareholder shall have the right to sell to the Selling Shareholder the type and number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Shares such Non-Selling Shareholder would have been entitled to transfer to the purchaser under Section 5.1 hereof had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms hereof. Such sale shall be made on the following terms and conditions:

(i) The price per share at which the Shares are to be sold to the Selling Shareholder shall be equal to the price per share paid by the purchaser to the Selling Shareholder in the Prohibited Transfer. The Selling Shareholder shall also reimburse each Non-Selling Shareholder for any and all reasonable fees and expenses, including legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of such Non-Selling Shareholder’s rights under this Section 5.

 

21


(ii) Each Non-Selling Shareholder shall, if exercising the option created hereby, deliver to the Selling Shareholder within ninety (90) days after the later of the dates on which the Non-Selling Shareholder (A) received notice of the Prohibited Transfer or (B) otherwise become aware of the Prohibited Transfer, a notice describing the type and the number of Shares to be transferred by the Non-Selling Shareholder.

(iii) The Selling Shareholder shall, promptly upon receipt of the notice described in subsection 5.4(b)(ii) above from the Non-Selling Shareholder(s) exercising the option created hereby, pay to each such Non-Selling Shareholder the aggregate purchase price for the Shares to be sold by such Non-Selling Shareholder, and the amount of reimbursable fees and expenses, as specified in subparagraph 5.4(b)(i), in cash or by other means acceptable to the Non-Selling Shareholder.

(iv) Upon receipt of full payment of the amount due from the Selling Shareholder, the Non-Selling Shareholder shall deliver to the Selling Shareholder the certificate or certificates representing Shares to be sold, together with a transfer form signed by the Non-Selling Shareholder transferring such shares.

Upon written request of any Investor who is a United States shareholder within the meaning of Section 951(b) of the Code, the Company will (i) use best efforts to provide in writing such information as is in its possession and reasonably available concerning its shareholders to assist such Investor in determining whether the Company is a CFC and (ii) provide such Investor with reasonable access to such other Company information as is in the Company’s possession and reasonably available as may be required by such Investor (A) to determine the Company’s status as a CFC, (B) to determine whether such Investor is required to report its pro rata portion of the Company’s “Subpart F income” (as defined in Section 952 of the Code) on its United States federal income tax return, or (C) to allow such Investor to otherwise comply with applicable United States federal income tax laws.

11.6 Passive Foreign Investment Company. The Company shall use its best efforts to avoid being a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code (“PFIC”) for the current and any future taxable year. The Company shall make due inquiry with its tax advisors on at least an annual basis regarding its status as a PFIC, and if the Company is informed by its tax advisors that it has become a PFIC, or that there is a likelihood of the Company being classified as a PFIC for any taxable year, the Company shall promptly notify the Investors of such status or risk, as the case may be, in each case no later than forty-five (45) days following the end of the Company’s taxable year. In connection with a “Qualified Electing Fund” election (a “QEF Election”) made by any Investor pursuant to Section 1295 of the Code or a “Protective Statement” filed by an Investor pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-3, as amended (or any successor thereto), the Company shall provide such Investor with annual financial information in the form to the satisfaction of such Investor as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of each taxable year of such Investor (but in no event later than forty-five (45) days following the end of each such taxable year), and shall, upon the request in writing by such Investor, provide such Investor with access to such other information, as is in the Company’s possession and reasonably available, as may be required for purposes of filing U.S. federal income tax returns in connection with such QEF Election or Protective Statement. In the event that it is determined by the Company’s or such Investor’s tax advisors that the control documents in place between one or more of the Company’s wholly owned Subsidiaries and/or the Company, on the one hand, and any of the Group Companies organized in the PRC that is not a wholly foreign owned enterprise, on the other hand, does not allow the Company to look through the Group Companies to their assets and income for purposes of the PFIC rules and regulations under the Code, the Company shall use its best efforts to take such actions as are reasonably necessary or advisable, including the amendment of such control documents, to qualify for such look-through treatment of the Group Companies under the PFIC rules and regulations under the Code.

11.9 Each of the Existing Shareholders (other than LC) hereby severally but not jointly acknowledges and covenants that their respective holding of applicable series of Shares in the Company meets the applicable requirements and consents as provided under relevant laws and regulations including but not limited to the overseas direct investment filing, the relevant approval from the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce and/or the competent local counterparts, as well as the applicable approvals and consents from SAFE and the related foreign exchange bank (all such consents or approvals, the “Outbound Investment Approvals”) and in case there exist any violation or any lack of Outbound Investment Approvals, such Existing Shareholder (other than LC) shall spare every effort (and in any event within two (2) years after the date hereof) to obtain the applicable approvals and meet relevant requirements. Furthermore, if such failure of Outbound Investment Approvals causes adverse effect on the IPO and other capital arrangement of the Group Companies at any time, the Existing Shareholders (other than LC) (if applicable) shall spare their every effort to eliminate such adverse effects.

 

34


11.10 Subject to the advice of IPO professionals, in the event that the current shareholding structure of Nanjin ForU and/or Beijing ForU may cause impediment to the listing plan, the Warrantors shall use every effort to make plans to eliminate such potential impediment, including but not limited to, causing the Series Angel Investors, Series A Investor, Series A+ Investor, Series B Investors, Series C Investors and Series C+ Investors to cease holding shares in Nanjin ForU and/or Beijing ForU, and the Investors shall fully cooperate with the Company and Warrantors to effectuate such plan.

The prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

(c) Shareholders Agreement to Prevail. If and to the extent that there are inconsistencies between the provisions of this Agreement and those of the Restated M&A, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. The parties agree to take all actions necessary or advisable, as promptly as practicable after the discovery of such inconsistency, to amend the Restated M&A so as to eliminate such inconsistency.

13.14 Termination of Rights. This Agreement and all rights and covenants contained herein, except for obligations set forth in Sections 1, 3, 11.11, 12, and 13, shall terminate on the closing of a Qualified IPO.
