Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, 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 to the 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.

(d) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Holders requesting registration pursuant to this Section 2.3, 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 at such time, 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 the Company shall not register any other of its shares during such twelve (12) month period. A demand right shall not be deemed to have been exercised until such deferred registration shall have been effected.

2.4 Piggyback Registrations.

(a) The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any registration under Section 2.3 or Section 2.5 of this Agreement or to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization) and shall afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder.

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.

(b) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 2.4 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 2.4 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 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, second, to the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of shares of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder, and third, to holders of other securities of the Company; 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 shares of Registrable Securities for which inclusion has been requested; and (ii) 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) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded, unless otherwise approved by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.

(c) Not Demand Registration. Registration pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 2.3 above. There shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.4.

2.5 Form F-3 and Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of all Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or an equivalent registration in a jurisdiction outside of the United States) and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company will:

(a) 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 Holder’s 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 Company provides the notice contemplated by Section 2.5(a); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.5:

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

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

(3) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form F-3 or Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form F-3 or Form S-3 registration statement no more than once during any twelve (12) month period for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.5; provided that the Company shall not register any of its other shares during such sixty (60) day period. A registration right under this Section 2.5 shall not be deemed to have been exercised until such deferred registration shall have been effected.

(4) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two registrations under the Securities Act other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of the Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Holders requested be included in such registration) pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.3(b) and 2.4(b); or

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

(c) Not Demand Registration. Form F-3 or Form S-3 registrations shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 2.3 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 2.5.

(d) Underwriting. If the Holders of Registrable Securities requesting registration under this Section 2.5 intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, the provisions of Section 2.3(b) shall apply to such registration.

2.6 Expenses. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 (but excluding Selling Expenses) shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all Selling Expenses or other amounts payable to underwriter(s) or brokers, in connection with such offering by the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.3 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 Section 2.3 (in which case such registration shall also constitute the use by all Holders of Registrable Securities of one (1) 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, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.3.

2.7 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to ninety (90) days or, in the case of Registrable Securities registered under Form F-3 or Form S-3 in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act or a successor rule, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such ninety (90) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period any Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of the underwriter(s), and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form F-3 or Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such ninety (90) day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold.

(b) Amendments and Supplements. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.

(c) Prospectuses. Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration.

(d) Blue Sky. Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.

(e) Underwriting. In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering.

(f) 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 (i) the issuance of any stop order by the SEC in respect of such registration statement, or (ii) 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.

(g) Opinion and Comfort Letter. Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriter(s) for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) letters dated as of (x) the effective date of the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities and (y) the closing date of the offering from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.

2.8 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the Registration of their Registrable Securities.

2.9 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5:

(a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its partners, officers, directors, legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other United States federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”):

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

(2) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or

(3) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any United States federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any United States federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;

and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, its partner, officer, director, legal counsel, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder or any partner, officer, director, counsel, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.

(b) By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, directors, officers, legal counsel or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, legal counsel, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other United States federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(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 in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.9(b) exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which the applicable Violation arises.

(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.9 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 2.9, 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 2.9 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 2.9.

(d) 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 2.9 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 2.9 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 2.9; 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 or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.9 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.

2.10 Termination of the Company’s Obligations. The Company’s obligations under this Section 2 with respect to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall terminate on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the completion of the Company’s IPO.

2.11 No Registration Rights to Third Parties. Without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any person or entity any registration rights of any kind (whether similar to the demand, “piggyback”, Form F-3 or Form S-3 registration rights described in this Section 2, 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.

2.12 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to make available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form F-3, after such time as a public market exists for the Ordinary Shares, the Company agrees to:

(a) 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;

(b) 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

(c) 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 or Form S-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 or Form S-3.

2.13 Market Stand-Off. Each shareholder of the Company agrees that, so long as it holds any voting securities of the Company, upon the written request by the managing underwriter, 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 (as defined under the Purchase Agreements) permitted by law) without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter 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 managing underwriter. The foregoing provision of this Section 2.13 shall not apply to the sale of any securities of the Company to an underwriter pursuant to any underwriting agreement and the sale of any securities acquired by the Holder in the secondary market, 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 the IPO a market stand-off agreement containing substantially similar provisions as those contained in this Section 2.13.

3. RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION.

3.1 General. Any holder of Shares or any of its permitted transferees to which rights under this Section 3 have been duly assigned in accordance with Section 12.6 (each a “Participation Rights Holder”) shall have the right of first refusal to purchase (or designate its Affiliates to purchase) its Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of any New Securities (as defined in Section 3.3) that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement (the “Right of Participation”).

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

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

(a) any Ordinary Shares (and/or options or warrants therefor) (as adjusted for share dividend, share split, combination of shares, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar event) issued to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company pursuant to the Transaction Documents, a share grant, option plan, purchase plan or other employee stock incentive programs or arrangement duly approved by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with the Transaction Documents (the “ESOP”);

(b) any securities issued in connection with any share split, share dividend, reclassification or other similar event as duly approved by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with the Transaction Documents;

(c) any securities issued upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any outstanding security if such outstanding security constituted a New Security;

(d) any Shares issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreements;

(e) any securities issued pursuant to an IPO; or

(f) any Ordinary Shares issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares.

3.4 Procedures. 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 to each Participation Rights Holder a written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “Participation Notice”), describing the amount and type of New Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Participation Rights Holder shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such Participation Notice (the “Participation Period”) to agree in writing to purchase all or any part of such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Participation Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the New Securities).

3.5 Failure to Exercise. Upon the expiration of the Participation Period, the Company shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days thereafter to sell the New Securities described in the Participation Notice (with respect to which the Right of Participation hereunder was not exercised) at the same or higher price and upon non-price terms not more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Participation Notice. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold such New Securities within such one hundred and twenty (120) day period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Participation Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 3.

3.6 Termination. The Right of Participation for each Participation Rights Holder shall terminate upon the completion of the Company’s IPO.

4. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

4.1 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Section 4, “Ordinary Shares” means (i) the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares, (ii) the Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Company’s outstanding Preferred Shares, (iii) the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants and (iv) the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of any outstanding convertible securities; and “Restricted Shares” means any of the Company’s securities now owned or subsequently acquired, directly or indirectly, by any of the Key Holders and their respective Permitted Transferees. “Preferred Holders” means the holders of Preferred Shares and any of their permitted assignees to whom their rights under this Section 4 have been duly assigned in accordance with Section 12.6 of this Agreement, or any Affiliate designated by the foregoing.

4.2 Sale of Restricted Shares; Notice of Sale. Subject to Section 4.7 of this Agreement, if any holder of the Restricted Shares (collectively the “Selling Shareholders”, and each, a “Selling Shareholder”) proposes to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of in any way or otherwise grant any interest or right (the “Transfer”) with respect to any Restricted Shares held by it, then the Selling Shareholder shall promptly give written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to each Preferred Holder and the Company prior to such Transfer. The Transfer Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed Transfer including, without limitation, the number of Restricted Shares to be sold or transferred (the “Offered Shares”), the nature of such Transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee.

4.3 Right of First Refusal.

(a) Preferred Holders’ Right of First Refusal. Each Preferred Holder shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Shareholder, the Company, and each other Preferred Holder, within twenty (20) Business Days following the receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “Preferred First Refusal Period”), to elect to purchase all or any part of its pro rata share of Offered Shares, equivalent to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of the Offered Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by such Preferred Holder at the time of the transaction, and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) owned by all the Preferred Holders at the time of the transaction (the “First Refusal Allotment”), at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice.

(b) Action Required. A Preferred Holder shall not have the right to purchase any of the Offered Shares unless it exercises its right of first refusal within the Preferred First Refusal Period to purchase up to all, or any of its pro rata share, of the Offered Shares.

(c) Expiration Notice. Within ten (10) Business Days after expiration of the Preferred First Refusal Period, the Company will give written notice (the “First Refusal Expiration Notice”) to the Selling Shareholder and each Preferred Holder specifying either (i) that all of the Offered Shares were purchased by the Preferred Holders by exercising their rights of first refusal, or (ii) that the Preferred Holders have not purchased all of the Offered Shares, in which case the First Refusal Expiration Notice will specify the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Offered Shares for the purpose of their co-sale rights described in Section 4.4 below.

(d) Purchase Price. The purchase price per share for the Offered Shares to be purchased by the Preferred Holders exercising their right of first refusal will be the price per share set forth in the Transfer Notice, and will be payable as set forth in Section 4.3(e). If the purchase price in the Transfer Notice includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the Board in good faith (including the affirmative votes of the Requisite Investor Directors), which determination will be binding upon the Preferred Holders and the Selling Shareholder(s), absent fraud or error.

(e) Payment. Payment of the purchase price per share for the Offered Shares purchased by the Preferred Holders shall be made within five (5) Business Days following the date on which the relevant share transfer agreement becomes effective.

(f) Rights of a Selling Shareholder. If any Preferred Holder exercises its right of first refusal to purchase the Offered Shares, then, upon the date the notice of such exercise is given by such Preferred Holder, the Selling Shareholder will have no further rights as a holder of such Offered Shares except the right to receive payment for such Offered Shares from such Preferred Holder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Selling Shareholder will forthwith cause all certificate(s) evidencing such Offered Shares to be surrendered to the Company for transfer to such Preferred Holder.

(g) Application of Co-Sale Rights. If the Preferred Holders have not elected to purchase all of the Offered Shares, then the Transfer of the Offered Shares to be transferred by a Key Holder will become subject to the co-sale rights set forth in Section 4.4 below.

4.4 Co-Sale Right. To the extent the Preferred Holders have not exercised their right of first refusal with respect to all the Offered Shares to be Transferred by a Key Holder pursuant to Section 4.3, then each Preferred Holder that has not exercised its right of first refusal provided in Section 4.3 above (the “Co-Sale Holder”) shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Shareholder, the Company and each other Co-Sale Holder (the “Co-Sale Notice”) within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of the First Refusal Expiration Notice (the “Co-Sale Right Period”), to participate in such sale of the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Co-Sale Notice shall set forth the number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) that such Co-Sale Holder wishes to include in such Transfer, which amount shall not exceed the Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of such Co-Sale Holder. To the extent one or more of the Co-Sale Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Offered Shares that the Selling Shareholder may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced. The co-sale right of each Co-Sale Holder shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion. Each Co-Sale Holder exercising its co-sale right may sell all or any part of that number of Ordinary Shares held by it (on an as-converted basis) that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of the Offered Shares subject to the co-sale right hereunder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) owned by such Co-Sale Holder exercising its co-sale rights at the time of the sale or transfer, and the denominator of which is the total number of (A) the Ordinary Shares owned by the Selling Shareholder, and (B) the total number of the Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) owned by all Co-Sale Holders exercising their co-sale rights hereunder (the “Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion”).

(b) Transferred Shares. Each Co-Sale Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Selling Shareholder for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent:

(i) the number of Ordinary Shares which such Co-Sale Holder elects to sell;

(ii) that number of Preferred Shares, as applicable, which is at such time convertible into the number of Ordinary Shares that such Co-Sale Holder elects to sell (on an as-converted basis); provided in such case that, if the prospective purchaser objects to the transfer of Preferred Shares, as applicable, in lieu of Ordinary Shares, such Co-Sale Holder shall first convert such Preferred Shares, as applicable, into Ordinary Shares and deliver certificates for Ordinary Shares as provided in Subsection 4.4(b)(i) above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with and contingent upon the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser; or

(iii) a combination of the above.

(c) Payment to Co-Sale Holder; Registration of Transfer. The share certificate or certificates that the Co-Sale Holder delivers to the Selling Shareholder pursuant to Section 4.4(b) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the Transfer of the Offered Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Selling Shareholder shall concurrently therewith remit to such Co-Sale Holder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co-Sale Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from a Co-Sale Holder exercising its co-sale right hereunder, the Selling Shareholder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Offered Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Selling Shareholder shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Co-Sale Holder. The Company shall, upon surrendering by the prospective purchaser or the Selling Shareholder of the certificates for the Preferred Shares or Ordinary Shares being transferred from the Co-Sale Holders as provided above, make proper entries in the register of members of the Company and cancel the surrendered certificates and issue any new certificates in the name of the prospective purchaser or the Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, as necessary to consummate the transactions in connection with the exercise by Co-Sale Holders of their co-sale rights under this Section 4.4.

4.5 Right to Transfer. The Selling Shareholder may, not later than ninety (90) days following delivery to each Preferred Holder of the Transfer Notice, conclude a transfer of the Offered Shares covered by the Transfer Notice and the number of which shall have not been reduced pursuant to the right of first refusal and co-sale right (if applicable) hereunder, which in each case shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as those described in the Transfer Notice. Any proposed Transfer on terms and conditions which are materially different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed Transfer of any Restricted Shares not consummated within such ninety (90) days’ period by the Selling Shareholder, shall again be subject to the right of first refusal and co-sale right of the Preferred Holders and shall require compliance by the Selling Shareholder with the procedures described in Sections 4 of this Agreement.

4.6 Exempt Transfers. Subject to Section 4.7 hereof, the right of first refusal of the Preferred Holders and the co-sale right of the Co-Sale Holders shall not apply to (a) any Transfer of the Restricted Shares to the Company pursuant to a repurchase right or right of first refusal held by the Company pursuant to the Restricted Share Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreements); (b) any Transfer to the Key Holders from holders of Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the ESOP; (c) any Transfer of the Restricted Shares to the parents, children or spouse of the Selling Shareholders, a company wholly owned by or trusts for the benefit of such persons or the Selling Shareholders solely for bona fide estate planning purposes; and (d) any Transfer by HUANG Jinfeng, CHEN Yuwen and/or LYU Jianhua or their respective Founder Holdcos of no more than 8,340,723 Ordinary Shares of the Company in the aggregate (as adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or similar transactions) to any third party (the foregoing transferees referred to in items (a) to (d) of this Section 4.6, the “Permitted Transferees”, and each, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided that (i) such Transfer is effected in compliance with all applicable laws; (ii) adequate documentation therefor is provided to the Preferred Holders to their satisfaction and that any such Permitted Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement in place of the relevant Selling Shareholder; and (iii) as to the transactions listed in clause (c) above, such Selling Shareholder shall remain liable for any breach by such Permitted Transferee of any provision hereunder.

4.7 Prohibited Transfers.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except for transfers by the Key Holders to the Permitted Transferees as provided in Section 4.6 above, prior to the consummation of the Company’s IPO, without the prior written approvals of the Majority Preferred Holders, none of the Key Holders shall directly or indirectly Transfer, through a single or a series of transactions, any securities of the Company held directly or indirectly by such Key Holder or their respective Permitted Transferees to any Person.

(b) Any attempt by a Key Holder to Transfer or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company in violation of this Section 4 shall be null and void ab initio and the Company hereby undertakes it will not effect such Transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such Company securities without the prior written approval of the Majority Preferred Holders.

4.8 Guarantees by the Founders. Subject to the limitations to liabilities of each Founder under Section 8 under the Purchase Agreements, each Founder hereby jointly and severally guarantees and warrants the performance and obligations of his applicable Founder Holdco under this Agreement.

4.9 Transfer Restriction of Each Investor.

(a) Transfer to Company Competitor. Each Preferred Holder may freely transfer any Share held by it, provided, however, that no Preferred Holder shall Transfer any Shares directly or indirectly owned by it to any of the company competitors listed in Exhibit B (the “Company Competitors”) without the prior written approval of the Company.

(b) Right of First Refusal of the Company and Founder Holdcos. Subject to Section 4.9(a), if any Preferred Holder (the “Selling Preferred Holder”) proposes to Transfer any Shares held by it to any third parties other than the Affiliate(s) of such Preferred Holder, then the Selling Preferred Holder shall first promptly give a written notice (the “Prefer Transfer Notice”) to the Company and the Founders, with a copy of such Prefer Transfer Notice to each of the Prefer Transfer ROFR Holders (as defined below), prior to such Transfer and in priority to Prefer Transfer ROFR Holders. The Prefer Transfer Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed Transfer including, without limitation, the number of Shares to be sold or transferred (the “Offered Preferred Shares”), the nature of such Transfer, the consideration to be paid for each Offered Preferred Share, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee. The Company and the Founder Holdcos shall have the first-ranking right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Preferred Holders, within fifteen (15) Business Days following its receipt of the Prefer Transfer Notice (the “Company and Founder ROFR Period”), to purchase all or any part of the Offered Preferred Shares before any Prefer Transfer ROFR Holders may exercise their rights of first refusal (the “Company and Founder ROFR Right”); provided that the Company shall, subject to Section 9 of this Agreement, undertake an issuance of new Shares within twelve (12) months after any repurchase made by the Company under this Section 4.9, with the total proceeds received by the Company being no less than the total amount of repurchase price paid by the Company in such repurchase. The Company and the Founder Holdcos may allocate the portion of Offered Preferred Shares being purchased at their sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise of the Company and Founder ROFR Right shall not be subject to Section 9 of this Agreement or the Article 19 of the Restated Articles.

(c) Right of First Refusal of Prefer Transfer ROFR Holders. If the Company and the Founder Holdcos decline to exercise or fail to exercise the Company and Founder ROFR Right in full during the Company and Founder ROFR Period, then the Selling Preferred Holder shall promptly give the Prefer Transfer Notice to other holders of Shares other than the Founder Holdcos (for the purposes of this Section 4.9, such holders collectively, the “Prefer Transfer ROFR Holders”, and each, a “Prefer Transfer ROFR Holder”), along with the number of the remaining Offered Preferred Shares subject to the right of first refusal of the Prefer Transfer ROFR Holders. Any Prefer Transfer ROFR Holder shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Preferred Holders and the Company, within fifteen (15) Business Days following its receipt of the Prefer Transfer Notice (the “Prefer Transfer ROFR Holder First Refusal Period”), to elect to purchase all or any part of its pro rata share of the remaining Offered Preferred Shares, equivalent to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of the remaining Offered Preferred Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by such Prefer Transfer ROFR Holder at the time of the transaction, and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) owned by all the Prefer Transfer ROFR Holders at the time of the transaction, at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Prefer Transfer Notice.

(d) Action Required. A Prefer Transfer ROFR Holder shall not have the right to purchase any of the remaining Offered Preferred Shares unless it exercises its right of first refusal within the Prefer Transfer ROFR Holder First Refusal Period to purchase up to all, or any of its pro rata share, of the remaining Offered Preferred Shares.

(e) Purchase Price. The purchase price per share for the Offered Preferred Shares to be purchased by the Company, the Founder Holdcos and/or the Prefer Transfer ROFR Holders exercising their right of first refusal will be the price per share set forth in the Prefer Transfer Notice and will be payable as set forth in Section 4.9(g). If the purchase price in the Prefer Transfer Notice includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the Board in good faith (including the affirmative votes of the Requisite Investor Directors), which determination will be binding upon the Company, the Founder Holdcos and/or the Prefer Transfer ROFR Holders (as applicable) and the Selling Preferred Holder(s), absent fraud or error.

(f) Payment. Payment of the purchase price per share for the Offered Preferred Shares purchased by the Company, the Founder Holdcos and/or the Prefer Transfer ROFR Holders shall be made within five (5) Business Days following the date on which the relevant share repurchase agreement or share transfer agreement becomes effective or otherwise mutually agreed by the Company, the Founder Holdcos or the Prefer Transfer ROFR Holders, as applicable, and the Selling Preferred Holder(s) in writing.

(g) Rights of a Selling Preferred Holder. If the Company, any Founder Holdco or any Prefer Transfer ROFR Holder exercises its right of first refusal to purchase the Offered Preferred Shares, then, upon and after the date when the Company, such Founder Holdco or such Prefer Transfer ROFR Holder has paid the purchase price in full for the Offered Preferred Shares purchased by the Company, such Founder Holdco or such Prefer Transfer ROFR Holder, the Selling Preferred Holder will have no further rights as a holder of such Offered Preferred Shares, and the Selling Preferred Holder will forthwith cause all certificate(s) evidencing such Offered Preferred Shares to be surrendered to the Company for cancellation or transfer to such Prefer Transfer ROFR Holder.

4.10 Term. The provisions under this Section 4 shall terminate upon the completion of the Company’s IPO; provided that Section 4.9(a) shall remain in effect with respect to any Transfer by any Preferred Holder to any Company Competitor notwithstanding the Company’s IPO and such restriction shall survive the termination of this Agreement, except for sale of Company securities in (a) a fully marketed or underwritten offering to public market investors; or (b) a brokerage resale where the identity of the purchaser is genuinely unknown to the shareholder.

(b) such shareholder is not required to agree (unless such shareholder is an officer or employee of any Group Company) to any restrictive covenant in connection with the Drag-Along Transaction (including without limitation any covenant not to compete or covenant not to solicit customers, employees or suppliers of any party to the Drag-Along Transaction);

Prior to making any Drag-Along Transaction in which the Drag-Along Shareholders wish to exercise their rights under Section 5, the Drag-Along Shareholders shall provide the Company and the Dragged Shareholders with written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) not less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed closing date of the Drag-Along Transaction (the “Drag-Along Transaction Date”).
