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 holders of the Preferred Shares in proportion to its shareholding of the Preferred Shares in the Company in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 4.1, provided that if the issuance of Additional Equity Securities is for the purpose of the next round financing of the Company, both the holders of the Ordinary Shares and the holders of the Preferred Shares shall have a right of first offer in proportion to their respective shareholding in the Company.

 

  (a)

The Company shall deliver a notice, in accordance with Section 8.4 hereof (the “Offer Notice”) to the holders of the Preferred Shares (or if applicable, the holders of the Ordinary Shares and the Preferred Shares in the event that the holders of the Ordinary Shares are entitled to participate in the next round financing of the Company) stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Offered Securities, (ii) the number of such Offered Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Offered Securities.

By written notification received by the Company, within twenty (20) calendar days after mailing of the Offer Notice, each of the holders of the Preferred Shares may elect to purchase or obtain up to such number of the Offered Securities equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of the Offered Securities by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares then held by such holder of the Preferred Shares, and the denominator of which is the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares then held by all the holders of the Preferred Shares (or if applicable, the total number of (x) the Ordinary Shares issued and then held by all the holders of the Ordinary Shares and (y) the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares then held by such holder of the Preferred Shares in the event that the holders of the Ordinary Shares are entitled to participate in the next round financing of the Company), at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice. The Company shall promptly, in writing, inform the holders of the Preferred Shares who elect to purchase all the shares available to them (each, a “Fully-Exercising Holder”) of any other holders of the Preferred Shares’ 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 Additional Equity Securities for which any of the holders of the Preferred Shares were entitled to subscribe but which were not subscribed for by the holders of the Preferred Shares which is equal to the proportion that the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares then held by such Fully-Exercising Holder bears to 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 Additional Equity Securities (or if applicable, the total number of (x) the Ordinary Shares issued and then held by all the holders of the Ordinary Shares who have elected to purchase all the shares available to them and wish to purchase such unsubscribed Additional Equity Securities and (y) the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares then held by such Fully-Exercising Holders who wish to purchase such unsubscribed Additional Equity Securities in the event that the holders of the Ordinary Shares are entitled to participate in the next round financing). The aforesaid allocation step shall be repeated until the earlier of (x) all the Offered Securities are allocated among all the holders of the Preferred Shares (or if applicable, all the holders of the Ordinary Shares and the Preferred Shares in the event that the holders of the Ordinary Shares are entitled to participate in the next round financing); and (y) each holder of the Preferred Shares (or if applicable, each holder of the Ordinary Shares and the Preferred Shares in the event that the holders of the Ordinary Shares are entitled to participate in the next round financing of the Company) has been allocated all the Offered Securities it has elected to purchase.

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 unless first reoffered to the Investors in accordance with Section 4.1(a) and Section 4.1(b) again.

Tenth Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement


  (b)

Companys Right of First Refusal

The Company shall have an option for a period of ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice (the “Company Option Period”) to elect to purchase all or a portion of the Transfer Shares, at the same price and subject to the same terms and conditions as described in the Proposed Transfer Notice, exercisable by written notice to the Transferor and/or the Investor (as the case may be) (the “Company’s Right of First Refusal”), provided however that, if the Company decides to exercise the Company’s Right of First Refusal to purchase the Transfer Shares any Investor proposes to transfer, the Company shall be obliged to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Transfer Shares such Investor proposes to transfer within the Company Option Period.

 

  (c)

Investor Right of First Refusal.

(i) If the Company does not timely elect to purchase all of the Transfer Shares pursuant to clause (b) above, then the Transferor shall deliver to the Investors (collectively, the “Non-Selling Investors” and each a “Non-Selling Investor”) written notice (the “Company Notice”) thereof within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Company Option Period (the “Investor Right of First Refusal”) to purchase up to such remaining number of the Transfer Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of the Transfer Shares by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares then held by such Non-Selling Investor and the denominator of which is the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares then held by all the Non-Selling Investor(s), at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to the Prospective Transferee.

(ii) To exercise the Investor Right of First Refusal, a Non-Selling Investor must deliver a notice (an “Exercise Notice”) to the Transferor and the Company within twenty (20) days (the “Investor Notice Period”) after receipt of the Company Notice by giving an Exercise Notice to the Transferor. Such right shall at all times be exercised in accordance with the provisions of the Statute (as defined in the Articles) and any other applicable Laws. Failure by such Non-Selling Investor to give notice within the Investor Notice Period shall be deemed to constitute a decision by such Non-Selling Investor not to exercise the Investor Right of First Refusal.

(iii) In the event any Non-Selling Investor(s) fails to purchase all the Transfer Shares it is entitled to purchase under Section 6.2(c)(i), the remaining Transfer Shares (the “Overallotment Shares”) shall be allocated to the Non-Selling Investor(s) who have fully exercised their Investor Right of First Refusal to purchase all the Transfer Shares they are entitled to purchase under Section 6.2(c)(i) (the “Overallotment Participants”, and each, an “Overallotment Participant”). Within five (5) days following the expiration of the Investor Notice Period, the Transferor or the Company shall give each Overallotment Participant an additional notice that shall identify the number of Overallotment Shares (the “Additional Notice”). Each Overallotment Participant shall deliver a notice (the “Overallotment Exercise Notice”) to the Transferor and the Company within twenty (20) days after its receipt of such Additional Notice, to exercise its rights to purchase Overallotment Shares hereunder (the “Investor Overallotment Notice Period”). Each Overallotment Participant shall be entitled to purchase up to such number of the Overallotment Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of the Overallotment Shares by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares then held by such Overallotment Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares then held by all the Overallotment Participant(s), at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to the Prospective Transferee.

  (d)

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 a Non-Selling Investor cannot for any reason pay for the Transfer Shares in the same form of non-cash consideration, such Non-Selling Investor may pay the cash value equivalent thereof, as determined by the Board. The closing of the purchase of the Transfer Shares by a Non-Selling Investor shall take place, and all payments from such Non-Selling Investor shall have been delivered to the Transferor, by the later of (i) the date specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice as the intended date of the Proposed Transfer and (ii) sixty (60) 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 and thereafter are agreed to be bought by a Prospective Transferee (such Transfer Shares, the “Co-Sale Eligible Shares”), any Investor who has not exercised its rights under Section 6.2(c) (each a “Co-Sale Investor” and collectively, the “Co-Sale Investors”) may elect to exercise its right (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. The total number of Shares that each Co-Sale Investor who is willing to exercise its Right of Co-Sale may elect to sell under this Section 6.3 shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of all the Co-Sale Eligible Shares, by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares then held by such Co-Sale Investor and the denominator of which is the total number of (x) the Ordinary Shares issued and then held by the Transferor and (y) the Class A Ordinary Shares issued and held, or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares then held by all the Co-Sale Investor(s) who are willing to exercise their Right of Co-Sale hereunder. To exercise its Right of Co-Sale, a Co-Sale Investor must give the Transferor and the Company written notice to that effect within fifteen (15) calendar days (the “Co-Sale Period”) after the expiration of the Investor Overallotment Notice Period as provided in Section 6.2(c), and upon giving such notice such Co-Sale Investor shall be deemed to have effectively exercised the Right of Co-Sale.

  (b)

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”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Right of Co–Sale shall not apply with respect to Transfer Shares sold or to be sold to any Non-Selling Investor under the Right of First Refusal in Section 6.2(c).

 

  (c)

A Co-Sale Investor shall effect its participation in the Proposed Transfer by delivering to the Transferor, prior to the Co-Sale Closing, an executed instrument of transfer and one or more share certificates, to the Prospective Transferee, representing:

 

  (i)

the number of Ordinary Shares that such Co-Sale Investor elects to include in the Proposed Transfer; or

 

  (ii)

the number of the Preferred Shares that are at such time convertible into the number of Class A Ordinary Shares that such Co-Sale Investor 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 Class A Ordinary Shares, such Co-Sale Investor shall first convert the Preferred Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares and deliver Class A 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)

Each share certificate such Co-Sale Investor delivers to the Transferor pursuant to Section 6.3(c) above will be transferred to the Prospective Transferee against payment therefor and the register of member of the Company shall be updated in consummation of the sale of the Transfer Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Proposed Transfer Notice and the purchase and sale agreement, and the Transferor shall remit to such Co-Sale Investor of the sale proceeds to which such Co-Sale Investor is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. If any Prospective Transferee or Transferees refuse(s) to purchase securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from any Co-Sale Investor exercising its Right of Co-Sale hereunder, no Transferor may sell any Transfer Shares to such Prospective Transferee or Transferees unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Transferor purchases all securities subject to the Right of Co-Sale from the Co-Sale Investor(s).

 

6.4

Proposed Transfer Compliance Period.

To the extent that there are any Transfer Shares not purchased by Company and/or the Investors after the Company and all the Investors have exercised (or fail to exercise or waive) Company’s Right of First Refusal and/or Investor Right of First Refusal under Section 6.2, and subject to the Right of Co-Sale of the Co-Sale Investor under Section 6.3, the Transferor shall have the right to sell the remaining Transfer Shares to the Prospective Transferee to consummate the Proposed Transfer; provided that, if any Proposed Transfer is not consummated within seventy-five (75) days after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice by the Company, the Transferor shall not thereafter sell any remaining Transfer Shares to any Prospective Transferee, without first complying with Section 6.2 and Section 6.3 hereof again. The exercise or election not to exercise any right by an Investor hereunder shall not adversely affect its right to participate in any other sales of Transfer Shares subject to this Section 6.

 

12

Tenth Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement


6.5

Effect of Failure to Comply.

 

  (a)

Any Proposed Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (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”), each of 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 such Investor, as provided below, and such Transferor will be bound by the terms of such option. If a Transferor makes a Prohibited Transfer, each of the Investors upon timely exercise of its Right of Co-Sale under Section 6.3 may require such Transferor to purchase from such Investor the type and number of Shares that such Investor 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.

 

6.6

Exempt Transfers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Section 6 shall not apply: (i) to a repurchase of Shares from a Transferor by the Company, (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 custodian or trustee for the account of a Transferor or a Transferor’s Immediate Family Members, (iii) to a transfer of Shares by the Angels to the Key Holders and, (iv) to any transfer of Preferred Shares by the Investors to their Affiliates so long as such Affiliates remain an Affiliate of such Investor and such Affiliate is not a Person listed in Exhibit D, (v) transfer of any Shares of the Company by a Transferor to employees as the incentive shares in accordance with the Share Plan or to the Company for the purpose of increasing the number of equity securities available for the issuance to employees under the Share Plan and (vi) the sale of any Shares to the public in a Qualified IPO or in connection with a Sale of the Company; provided, that in cases of above (ii), (iii) and (iv), (i) such transaction is effected in compliance with all applicable filings or registrations required by SAFE under the Circular 37, and (ii) each such transferee, prior to the completion of such transfer, shall have executed and delivered an Assumption Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C assuming the obligations of such transferor under this Agreement as, if applicable, a Founder, a Founder Entity, or an Angel, with respect to the transferred Shares.

 

13

Tenth Amended and Restated Shareholders’ Agreement


If the Company waives or fails to exercise the Company’s Right of First Refusal in accordance with Section 6.2(b) of this Agreement with respect to a Proposed Transfer by an Investor, such Investor shall be entitled to transfer its Transfer Shares in accordance with this Section 6.6 without further subject to the Non-Selling Investors’ Investor Right of First Refusal. For the avoidance of doubt, each Investor may freely transfer any Shares (including the Class A Ordinary Shares that Hike Capital, SIG, N5Capital, Wenjing Co., Ltd., Creative Linking Investments Limited and Axilight each holds) now or hereafter owned or held by it subject to the Company’s Right of First Refusal set forth in Sections 6.2; provided that (i) such transfer is effected in compliance with all applicable Laws, (ii) the transferee shall execute and deliver an Assumption Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C as an “Investor” (if not already a Party hereto), and if applicable, a Series A Investor or a Series B Investor or a Series C Investor or a Series C-1 Investor or a Series C-2 Investor or a Series D-1 Investor or a Series D-2 Investor upon and after such transfer, and (iii) in case the proposed transferee is one of the Persons listed in Exhibit D, such Investor shall notify the Board of Directors of such transfer and assignment in writing, and such transfer and assignment shall not be effectuated unless (x) such transfer and assignment is approved by the Board of Directors in advance or (y) the Board of Directors does not disapprove such transfer and assignment by written resolution within twenty-five (25) days after receipt of the written notice from such Investor served pursuant to this Section 6.6. The places in No. 19 and 20 of Exhibit D as of the date hereof are reserved, and each of such reserved places may be added with a new entity whose business directly competes with the Business of the Group Companies by the Company at any time after the execution of this Agreement by serving a written notice to the Investors; and furthermore, the Company may, by serving a written notice to the Investors no more than one (1) time in any consecutive three (3) month period after the date hereof, replace any entity listed on Exhibit D with any other entity, provided that the business conducted by such other entity shall directly competes with the Business of the Group Companies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Investor proposes to transfer any Shares to any other Person(s) that conducts the business competitive with the primary business of the Group Companies but not listed on Exhibit D, (i) the Company shall not add the foregoing Person(s) into Exhibit D as a result of which such Investors fails to consummate the share transfer with the foregoing Person(s); (ii) the Company or any of its designated Persons has a right of first refusal to purchase such Shares, provided that, in case of designation of Persons, the Company shall be jointly and severally liable with such designated Persons in connection for due and punctual payment by such designated Persons of the consideration of the Shares to be transferred, provided further that, if the Company or any of its designated Persons decides to exercise its rights of first refusal, the Company or such designated Person shall be obliged to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Shares such Investor proposes to transfer. The procedures set forth in Section 6.2 shall apply to the foregoing exercise of right of first refusal mutatis mutandis, except that (i) the Proposed Transfer Notice must be delivered to the Company no later than twenty-five (25) days prior to the Proposed Transfer instead of sixty (60) days as required under Section 6.2; and (ii) the Exercise Notice must be delivered by the Company to the concerned Investor within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Proposed Transfer Notice instead of twenty (20) days as required under Section 6.2. The Company and the other shareholders of the Company shall execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of such transfer as shall reasonably be requested by such transferring Investor, including but not limited to update by the Company of its register of members upon the consummation of any such permitted transfer.

If the options are to be granted to any Founder or any of his Affiliates or Associate, such grant shall be approved by the Board of Directors.

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.

8.2

By Selling Holders.

To the extent permitted by Laws, 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 Laws, 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.

 

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.

 

EXHIBIT B


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) in such proportion so that a Holder (together with its related Persons) is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by and sold under such registration statement, and the Company and other selling Holders are responsible for the remaining portion. 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 guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

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.

 

EXHIBIT B


9.

No Registration Rights to Third Parties.

Without the prior written consents 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 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 Class A 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 Laws) without the prior written consent(s) 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.
