     WHEREAS, as of or after the date hereof, certain employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries may purchase Common Shares, or receive options exercisable for Common Shares,

 


 

pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan for Executive Employees of Avago Technologies Limited and Subsidiaries, as amended from time to time according to its terms (the “Management Equity Plan”). With respect to any Common Shares purchased by such employees under the Management Equity Plan, or any Common Shares issued to such employees upon exercise of any options granted under the Management Equity Plan, the holders thereof (and their permitted transferees) (collectively, the “Management Shareholders”) will be subject to the terms of the Management Shareholder Agreement (the “Management Shareholder Agreement”).
     WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire for the Company to provide the registration rights set out in this Agreement. Unless otherwise noted in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in Section 5.
AGREEMENT
     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:
1. DEMAND REGISTRATIONS.
     1.1. Requests for Registration. At any time prior to the Initial Public Offering, a Majority Sponsor may initiate the registration of Common Shares to be sold in the Initial Public Offering; provided such initiation shall require Majority Sponsor Approval. Subject to the other provisions of Section 1, (a) during the first two (2) years after the Initial Public Offering, a Majority Sponsor may initiate an unlimited number of registrations of all or part of their Registrable Securities on Form F-1, Form S-1 or any similar or successor long-form registration, or foreign equivalent (“Long-Form Registrations”), and, if available, an unlimited number of registrations of all or part of their Registrable Securities on Form F-2, Form S-2, Form F-3 or Form S-3 or any similar or successor short-form registration, or foreign equivalent (“Short-Form Registrations”); provided such initiation shall require Majority Sponsor Approval, and (b) from and after the second anniversary of the Initial Public Offering, each Majority Sponsor may (on behalf of itself and any Affiliate of it included in the term Sponsor) initiate three (3) Long-Form Registrations and, if available, an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations; provided in each case that the aggregate gross offering price of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in any Demand Registration must equal at least $50,000,000 in the case of any Long Form Registration and at least $20,000,000 in the case of any Short Form Registration, or such lesser amount as shall be approved by Majority Sponsor Approval.
     1.2. Demand Notice. All requests for Demand Registrations shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”). Each Demand Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered. Within ten days after receipt of any such Demand Notice, the Company will give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to Section 1.5, will include in such registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the delivery of the Company’s notice.

     1.3. Demand Registration Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Demand Registration, whether or not it has become effective.
     1.4. Short-Form Registrations. Demand Registrations will be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short-form (unless the managing underwriter(s) of such offering requests the Company to use a Long-Form Registration in order to sell all of the Registrable Securities requested to be sold). After the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the sale of Registrable Securities. A Majority Sponsor may, in connection with any Demand Registration requested by such holders that is a Short-Form Registration, require the Company to file such Short-Form Registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect) including, if the Company is then eligible, as an automatic shelf registration statement (any such Short-Form Registration, a “Shelf Registration”).
     1.5. Priority on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Majority Sponsors and the prior written consent of any Co-Investor that is unable to sell all Registrable Securities it requested to be included in such registration pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter(s) advises the Company that in its opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities, requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold therein without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, then the Company shall include in such registration notwithstanding the initial sentence of this Section 1.5, (a) prior to the inclusion of any securities that are not Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter(s), can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, pro rata among the respective holders thereof, including the Management Shareholders to the extent provided in the Management Shareholder Agreement on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder, provided that if the number of securities that are Registrable Securities that are included in such offering are less than 80% of the number of securities that are Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering, such offering shall not count for purposes of calculating the number of Long-Form Registrations initiated by a Majority Sponsor, and (b) only then, securities that are not Registrable Securities, if the managing underwriter(s) has advised that such securities may be included.
     1.6. Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company will not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within 90 days after the closing of a Public Offering (other than on Form F-4, Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor or similar form, but including the closing of an underwritten distribution pursuant to a Shelf Registration). The Company may postpone for up to 30 days in the aggregate the filing (measured from the date of request for such Demand Registration) or the effectiveness (measured from the first day the registration statement is no longer effective) of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if and so long as the Company determines that such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to have an

- 3 -


 

adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to engage in any material acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer, registration or issuance of securities, financing or other material transaction. The Company may not postpone a Demand Registration more than two (2) times in any twelve-month period.
     1.7. Selection of Underwriters. The Majority Sponsor(s) selling Registrable Securities in a Demand Registration will have the right to select the underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering, provided that such selection will be subject to the approval of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
     1.8. Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that it is not a party to, or otherwise subject to, any other agreement granting registration rights to any other Person with respect to any equity securities of the Company, other than this Agreement and the Management Shareholder Agreement. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without Majority Sponsor Approval approving the issuance of such securities (such Majority Sponsor Approval to treat the holders of Registrable Securities pro rata on the basis of the number of Common Shares owned); provided that without such approval, subject to Section 6.1, (a) the Company may grant rights to other Persons to participate in Demand Registrations and Piggyback Registrations so long as such rights are subordinate to the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities with respect to such Demand Registrations and Piggyback Registrations; and (b) the Company may grant rights to other Persons to request registrations so long as the holders of Registrable Securities are entitled to participate in any such registrations with such Persons and the right of such Persons to participate in such registration are subordinate to the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities to participate.
2. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS.
     2.1. Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act or equivalent foreign securities laws (other than (a) in the Initial Public Offering, (b) pursuant to a Demand Registration or (c) in connection with registration on Form F-4, Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor or similar form or foreign securities law equivalents) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company will give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.4 below, will include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the delivery of the Company’s notice. Each such Company notice shall specify the approximate number of Company equity securities to be registered and the anticipated per share price range for such offering.
     2.2. Piggyback Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not any such registration becomes effective.

- 4 -


 

     2.3. Priority on Primary Registrations. For purposes of this Section 2, if a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriter(s) advises the Company that in its opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering, the Company will include in such registration: (a) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell and (b) second, the Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities, including the Management Shareholders to the extent provided in the Management Shareholder Agreement, and holders of such other securities permitted to have their securities included in such registration on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder.
     2.4. Priority on Secondary Registrations. For purposes of this Section 2, if a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of Company securities (other than the holders of Registrable Securities), the demand rights of which were approved by Majority Sponsor Approval pursuant to Section 1.8, and the managing underwriter(s) advises the Company that in its opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company will include in such registration: (a) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting registration, (b) second, securities requested by the Company to be included in such registration, and (c) third, Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities, including the Management Shareholders to the extent provided in the Management Shareholder Agreement, and the holders of such other securities permitted to have their securities included in such registration on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder.
3. REGISTRATION GENERALLY.
     3.1. Registration Procedures. Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and pursuant thereto the Company will as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:
          (a) prepare and (within 60 days after the end of the period within which requests for inclusion in such registration may be given to the Company) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and thereafter use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to the counsel selected by the Majority Sponsors owning the Registrable Securities to be included in any Demand Registration copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to review by such counsel; provided, further, that such counsel shall forward such documents to the Shareholders participating in such registration, give such Shareholders an opportunity to comment on such

          (b) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary (i) to keep such registration statement effective for a period (A) of not less than 180 days (subject to extension pursuant to Section 3.3(b)) or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer, or (B) in the case of a Shelf Registration, ending on the earlier of (I) the date on which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration or have otherwise ceased to be Registrable Securities, (II) the second anniversary of the effective date of such Shelf Registration, (III) such other date determined by the Majority Sponsors and (IV) when all such Registrable Securities are freely saleable under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, and (ii) to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement until such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;

     3.4.2. Company Holdback. The Company shall not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company that are substantially similar to the Common Shares, including but not limited to any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Common Shares or any such substantially similar securities, during (a) with respect to the Initial Public Offering, the seven days prior to and the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of such Initial Public Offering, (b) with respect to any other underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration in which Registrable Securities are included, the seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of such registration, and (c) upon notice from any holder(s) of Registrable Securities subject to a Shelf Registration that such holder(s) intend to effect an underwritten distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration (upon receipt of which, the Company will promptly notify all other holders of Registrable Securities of the date of the commencement of such distribution), the seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the date of the commencement of such distribution, in each case except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form F-4, Form S-4 or Form S-8, and in each case unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree.
     3.5. Current Public Information. At all times after the Company has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of either the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to timely file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and will take such further action as any holder or holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
4. INDEMNIFICATION.
     4.1. Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities and, as applicable, its officers, directors, trustees, employees, shareholders, holders of beneficial interests, members, and general and limited partners (collectively, such holder’s “Indemnitees”) and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder or any such Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act, equivalent foreign securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, together with any documents incorporated therein by reference or, (b) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such holder and each of its Indemnitees for any legal or any other expenses, including any amounts paid in any settlement

- 12 -


 

effected with the consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.
     4.2. Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement, prospectus or free writing prospectus, and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Indemnitees against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act, equivalent foreign securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any application, together with any documents incorporated therein by reference or (b) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein, and such holder will reimburse the Company and each such Indemnitee for any legal or any other expenses including any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the consent of such holder, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, in no event shall the liability of any selling holder hereunder (together with any liability of such holder under any similar provision contained in any applicable underwriting agreement) be greater in amount than the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities of such holder were offered to the public (less underwriters’ discount and commissions) exceeds the total amount of any damages which such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of such holder in connection with such offering.
     4.3. Procedure. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks

- 13 -


 

indemnification (provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give such notice), and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.
     4.4. Entry of Judgment; Settlement. The indemnifying party shall not, except with the approval 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 each indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation without any payment or consideration provided by such indemnified party.
     4.5. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is, other than expressly pursuant to its terms, unavailable to or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under the provisions above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registered offering of securities as to which indemnity is sought or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand in connection with the statement or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) to the Company bear to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) to the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the sellers of Registrable Securities or other sellers participating in the registration statement and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The obligation to provide contribution will be individual (and not

- 14 -


 

joint and several) to each holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, less any other amounts paid by such holder, including pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, in respect of such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission.
The Company and the sellers of Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the sellers of Registrable Securities were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, in no event shall any selling holder hereunder be required to contribute (together with any contribution or other liability of such holder under any similar provision contained in any applicable underwriting agreement) an amount that is greater than the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities of such holder were offered to the public (less underwriters’ discount and commissions) exceeds the total amount of any damages which such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of such holder in connection with such offering. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
     4.6. Other Rights. The indemnification and contribution by any such party provided for under this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities.
5. DEFINITIONS.

6. MISCELLANEOUS.
     6.1. No Inconsistent Agreements; Foreign Registration. The Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement. In the event the Board and the Majority Sponsor approve a public offering or a sale of the Common Shares of the Company (or other securities representing, or exercisable for or convertible into, common shares) pursuant to the securities laws of a country other than the United States of America, the Board shall have the power to amend this Agreement in such manner as it shall

- 18 -


 

deem reasonably necessary to ensure that the provisions of this Agreement will apply in as close to the same manner as possible under such foreign securities laws, and to otherwise preserve and give effect to the rights of the parties hereto.
     6.2. Remedies. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies at law or in equity existing in its favor, any party shall be entitled to specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
     6.3. Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may be amended, modified, extended or terminated, and the provisions hereof may be waived, only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and each Majority Sponsor that holds Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the admission of new parties pursuant to the terms of Section 6.4 shall not constitute an amendment of this Agreement for purposes of this Section 6.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amendment, modification, extension, termination or waiver (an “Amendment”) would treat or have the effect of treating in their capacity as Shareholders any Shareholder or group of Shareholders in a manner different from, and materially adverse relative to, the Majority Sponsors voting in favor of such Amendment, then such Amendment will require the prior written consent of the Shareholder or Shareholders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities of such group adversely treated. Each such Amendment shall be binding upon each party hereto and each Shareholder subject hereto. In addition, each party hereto and each Shareholder subject hereto may waive any right hereunder, as to itself, by an instrument in writing signed by such party or Shareholder. The failure of any party to enforce any provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. To the extent the Amendment of any Section of this Agreement would require a specific consent pursuant to this Section 6.3, any Amendment to definitions to the extent used in such Section shall also require the specified consent.
     6.4. Successors and Assigns; Transferees. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities after any Transfer (except if such securities were effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the registration statement covering them, sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or sold in a block sale to a financial institution in the ordinary course of its trading business). Any transferee receiving shares of Registrable Securities in a Transfer effected in compliance with the terms of the Shareholder Agreement shall become a Shareholder, party to this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of, and be entitled to enforce, this Agreement to the same extent, and in the same capacity, as the Person that Transfers such Registrable Securities to such transferee; provided that only a Permitted Transferee of a Majority Sponsor will be deemed to be a Majority Sponsor for purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any transferee receiving Registrable Securities in a Transfer that is not a Majority Sponsor or a Permitted Transferee of a Majority Sponsor or its Affiliates will become a party to this Agreement without the benefit of the right to initiate Demand Registrations or other

- 19 -


 

rights afforded to the Majority Sponsors hereunder. Prior to the Transfer of any Registrable Securities to any transferee, and as a condition thereto, each Shareholder effecting such Transfer shall (a) cause such transferee to deliver to the Company and each of the Shareholders its written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent described in the preceding sentence and (b) if such Transfer is to a Permitted Transferee, remain directly liable for the performance by such Permitted Transferee of all obligations of such transferee under this Agreement.
     6.5. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
     6.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
     6.7. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.
     6.8. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given, delivered and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of receipt of confirmation of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section 6.8 prior to 5:00 p.m. (Singapore time) on a Business Day, (ii) the Business Day after the date of receipt of confirmation of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Agreement later than 5:00 p.m. (Singapore time) on any Business Day and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (Singapore time) on the day preceding the next Business Day, (iii) one (1) Business Day after when sent, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service (charges prepaid), (iv) the date of receipt of a non-automated reply email confirming receipt, if sent via email, or (v) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

     6.9. Delivery by Facsimile. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.
     6.10. Governing Law. The Singapore Companies Act will govern all issues concerning the internal corporate affairs of the Company. All other issues concerning this agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
