ORDINARY SHARES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS ORDINARY SHARES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of June 1, 2021, by and between monday.com Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”) and Zoom Video Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Investor”).

 

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

 

1.                  Purchase and Sale of Ordinary Shares.

 

1.1              Sale and Issuance of Ordinary Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Investor, the Shares (as defined below) at a price per share equal to the per share initial public offering price (before underwriting discounts and expenses) in the Qualified IPO (as defined below) (the “IPO Price”). “Shares” shall mean the number of ordinary shares of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”), equal to $75,000,000 divided by the IPO Price, rounded down to the nearest whole share (with the total purchase price correspondingly reduced for such fractional share amount). “Qualified IPO” shall mean the issuance and sale of shares of the Ordinary Shares by the Company, pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement to be entered into by and among the Company and certain underwriters (the “Underwriters”), in connection with the Company’s initial public offering pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-256182) (the “Registration Statement”) and/or any related registration statements (the “Underwriting Agreement”).

 

1.2              Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares shall take place at the location and at the time immediately subsequent to the closing of the Qualified IPO (which time and place are designated as the “Closing”). At the Closing, the Investor shall make payment of the purchase price of the Shares by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company against delivery to the Investor of the Shares registered in the name of the Investor, which Shares shall be uncertificated.

 

2.                  Registration Rights. At the Closing, in connection with the purchase of the Shares, the Company’s Amended and Restated Investors Rights Agreement, dated June 21, 2019, as further amended April 27, 2021, by and among the Company and certain of the shareholders of the Company listed thereto (the “Existing Rights Agreement”), shall be amended and restated in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Rights Agreement Amendment” and, together with the Existing Rights Agreement, the “Rights Agreement”).

 

3.                  Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investor that as of the date hereof and as of the date of the Closing:

 

 
 

 

3.1              Organization, Good Standing and Qualification.

 

(a)               The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing under the laws of Israel, with power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as is currently being conducted.

 

(b)               The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is in good standing (where such concept exists) under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties or conducts any business so as to require such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean any material adverse change or effect, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change or effect, in or affecting (i) the business, properties, general affairs, management, financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (ii) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including the issuance and sale of the Shares, or to consummate the transactions contemplated as part of its Qualified IPO.

3.3              Valid Issuance of Ordinary Shares. The Shares being purchased by the Investor hereunder, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the consideration expressed herein, will have been duly and validly authorized and issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable, will have been issued in compliance with the Companies Law 5759-1999 and the Israeli Securities Law 5728-1968, each as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (assuming the accuracy of the Investor’s representations in Section 4.3) and will be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities, claims and restrictions on transfer, other than restrictions on transfer under applicable state and federal securities laws or as contemplated hereby, by the Lock-Up Agreement or by the Rights Agreement.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Rights Agreement Amendment, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Rights Agreement Amendment will not result in any material violation or default or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a material default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event that results in the creation of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

To the Company’s knowledge, the Registration Statement as presently filed with United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and any amendment thereto, including any information deemed to be included therein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), complied (or, in the case of amendments filed after the date of this Agreement, will comply) as of its filing date in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and did not (or, in the case of amendments filed after the date hereof, will not) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

3.7              Brokers or Finders. Except for any private placement fees awarded to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (which fees, for the avoidance of doubt, will be the sole responsibility and obligation of the Company and not the responsibility and/or obligation of the Investor), the Company has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents such that the Investor will incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Company, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with the sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement.

 

3.8              Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Investor set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares by the Company to the Investor under this Agreement.

4.3              Purchase Entirely for Own Account. By the Investor’s execution of this Agreement, the Investor hereby confirms, that (i) the Shares to be received by the Investor will be acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the distribution of any part thereof, (ii) that the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, except as permitted by applicable federal or state securities laws and (iii) that Investor was not incorporated or formed for the sole purpose of acquiring the Shares By executing this Agreement, the Investor further represents that the Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares.

 

4.4              Disclosure of Information. The Investor believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares. The Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement or the right of the Investor to rely thereon.

 

4

 

 

4.5              Investment Experience. The Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. Investor also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares.

4.8              Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Shares will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act, only in certain limited circumstances.

INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME.

(b)               If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Preferred Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwritten public offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 1.2  and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.2(a) In such event the right of any Holder to include its Preferred Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwritten public offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Preferred Registrable Securities in the underwritten public offering (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwritten offering shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2 , if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Preferred Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwritten public offering shall be allocated to the Holders of such Preferred Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Preferred Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). Any Preferred Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwritten public offering shall be withdrawn from the registration.

 

(c)               The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:

 

a.in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act;

 

b.after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;

 

c.if the Initiating Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Preferred Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than twenty five million US Dollars ($25,000,000);

 

d.during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date that is the earlier of (A) one hundred and eighty (180) days following the effective date of the Initial Offering; and (B) ninety (90) days following the effective date of each other Company-initiated registration subject to Section 1.3 below, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or

 

e.if the Company shall furnish to the Initiating Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2, a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board") stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event 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 that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) months period.

1.3              Company Registration.

 

(a)               If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Holders) any of its shares or other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than (i) in connection with the Company’s Initial Offering or (ii) a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company share option plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction listed in Rule 145(a) of the Act or a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities (the "Excluded Securities")), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Except for the Excluded Securities, upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after delivery of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 3.5, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3, use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered.

 

(b)               Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.7 hereof.

 

(c)               Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any underwritten public offering of shares of the Company’s share capital, the Company shall not be required under this Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such offering unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the participating Holders) and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares (including Registrable Securities) to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, (i) first, to the Company, (ii) second, to the Holders of Preferred Registrable Securities pro-rata, based on the total number of Preferred Registrable Securities then held by the Holders of Preferred Registrable Securities requesting to be included in such registration; provided, however, that the number of Preferred Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be below thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of shares included in such registration; and (iii) third, to the Founder with respect to the number of Founder Registrable Securities that the Founder is requesting to be included in such registration. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For purposes of the second preceding sentence, concerning apportionment, for any selling shareholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, members and retired partners, retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "selling Holder" and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "selling Holder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.

 

1.4              Form F-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from the Initiating Holders a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Preferred Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company shall:

 

(a)               within ten (10) days after receipt of any such request, give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Preferred Registrable Securities; and

 

4 

 

 

(b)               use its reasonable best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders’ Preferred Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Preferred Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 1.4:

 

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

 

b.if the Holders Preferred Registrable Securities, 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 (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than fifteen million US Dollars ($15,000,000);

 

c.if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form F-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form F-3 registration statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.4; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) months period;

 

d.if the Company has, within the twelve (12) months period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations on Form F-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 1.4; or

 

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

 

(c)               Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Preferred Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not be counted as requests for registration effected pursuant to Section 1.2.

 

1.5              Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(e)               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 of such offering;

 

5 

 

 

(f)                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 Act or 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)               cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

 

(h)               provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

 

(i)                 cause senior representatives of the Company to participate in any "road show" or "road shows" reasonably requested by any underwriter of an underwritten or "best efforts" offering of Registrable Securities; and

 

(j)                 furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Agreement, 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 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, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date, 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, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.

 

1.6              Information from Holder. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

All expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.4 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be requested in the withdrawn registration), unless, in the case of a registration requested under Section 1.2 , the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one (1) demand registration pursuant to Section 1.2; provided, 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 from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to Section 1.2 or 1.4.

 

1.8              Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.

 

6 

 

 

1.9              Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 1:

 

(a)               To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members or officers, directors and shareholders of each Holder, legal counsel and accountants for each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act (a "Holder Indemnitee"), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, 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"): (i) 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 or any disclosure package filed with the SEC, (ii) 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 (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder Indemnitee promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.9(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, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case to a Holder Indemnitee for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration statement by such Holder Indemnitee; provided further, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder Indemnitee, from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnitee, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.

 

(b)               To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will severally and not jointly 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 Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration statement; and each such Holder will reimburse any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 1.9(b), for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.9(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, conditioned or delayed), provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 1.9(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

 

(c)               Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.9, 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 (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one (1) separate 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 differing 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, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.9 but the omission so to 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 1.9. No indemnifying party will 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.

(d)               If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall, subject to the limitation set forth in this Section 1.9(d), contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the contribution obligation of any Holder set forth in this Section 1.9(d) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined 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 (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to the applicable registration statement, and (y) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 1.9(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section1.9(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any selling expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.

 

(e)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control against each Holder to the extent such Holder is party to the underwriting agreement.

 

(f)                The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1 , and otherwise.

 

1.10          Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act ("SEC Rule 144") and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form F-3, the Company agrees to:

 

(a)               make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the Initial Offering;

 

(b)               file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; and

 

(c)               furnish to any Holder of Registrable Securities, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company), the Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company with the SEC, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

 

1.11          Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations and together with the transfer of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Articles of Association of the Company then in effect) by a Holder of Registrable Securities to a transferee or assignee of such securities that is a Permitted Transferee (as such term is defined in the Company's Articles of Association then in effect) of such Holder provided: (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of Section 1.13 below; and (c) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Act.

 

8 

 

 

1.12          Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders holding a majority of the Preferred Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed under Section 1.3 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included or (b) to demand registration of their securities.

 

1.13          "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s Initial Offering and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days) (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the Holder or Founder, as the case may be, or are thereafter acquired by the Holder or Founder), or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Ordinary Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Ordinary Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise (such period, as it may be reduced with the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, in its sole discretion, the "Lock-Up"). The foregoing provisions of this Section 1.13 shall apply only to the Company’s Initial Offering, shall not apply to (x) the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, or (y)(A) the transfer of any shares to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity that is an affiliate of such Holder, or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by or under common control with such Holder or affiliates of such Holder, or (B) as part of a distribution or transfer by such Holder to its stockholders, partners, members or other equity holders or to the estate of any such stockholders, partners, members or other equity holders, and (z) the transfer of any shares to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or the immediate family of the Holder, provided that in the cases of (y) and (z) the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and shall only be applicable to the Holders if all officers and directors and greater than one percent (1%) shareholders of the Company enter into similar agreements. The underwriters in connection with the Company’s Initial Offering are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 1.13 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. In addition, at the underwriters’ request, each Holder and the Founder, shall enter into a lock-up agreement in customary form reflecting the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any release of a Lock-Up by the underwriters shall only be effective if made on a pro rata basis, including with respect to management and employees, and any lock-up agreement with underwriters shall contain a clause to this effect.

 

In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction, including the Founder) until the end of such period.

 

To the extent that there shall be discretionary releases of shares from the Lock-Up, such discretionary releases of shares shall be allocated on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion of Preferred Shares) held by all shareholders that are subject to the Lock-Up.

 

1.14          Foreign Offerings. The provisions of this Section 1 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any registration of securities of the Company outside of the United States.

 

1.15          Termination of Registration Rights. The rights of any Founder provided in this Section 1 , shall terminate upon such time as Rule 144 of the Securities Act or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for such Founder for the sale of all of its Registrable Securities without any volume limitations (the “Rule 144 Termination Date”); and the rights of any Holder (other than the Founders) provided in this Section 1, shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) five (5) years following the completion of the Initial Offering, and (ii) such time as Rule 144 of the Securities Act or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for such Holder for the sale of all of its Registrable Securities without any volume limitations.

(f)                such other information relating to the financial condition, business, prospects or corporate affairs of the Company as the Eligible Preferred Investor may from time to time reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated under this subsection (f) to provide information that it deems in good faith to be a trade secret or similar confidential information of the Company or any affiliate thereof, unless a customary confidentiality undertaking is signed.

 

10 

 

 

2.2              Inspection. The Company shall permit each Eligible Preferred Investor or, subject to customary confidentiality restrictions and undertakings, its authorized representatives, at the Eligible Preferred Investor’s expense, to visit and inspect the Company’s properties, to examine its books of account and records and to discuss the Company’s affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, during normal business hours following reasonable notice and as often as may be reasonably requested by the Eligible Preferred Investor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) this Agreement may not be amended, and no provision hereof may be waived, in each case, in any way which would adversely affect the rights of any Holder hereunder in a manner disproportionate to any adverse effect such amendment or waiver would have on the rights of all other Holders hereunder, without also the written consent of such Holder, and (ii) Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 shall not be amended or terminated, and the observance of any term thereof may not be waived, without the written consent of each of the majority of the Preferred C Investors, the majority of the Preferred D Investors and the majority of the Preferred E Investors.

3.8              Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

3.10          Additional Parties. The parties hereto agree that subject to the prior written approval of the Holders holding at least 60% of the Preferred Registrable Securities, additional parties may be added as parties to this Agreement as Holders with respect to any or all of the securities of the Company purchased by them, and shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes a Holder hereunder. Any such additional party shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement, and upon execution by such additional party and by the Company, shall be considered a Holder for purposes of this Agreement and all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to such additional party. The parties agree that the schedules hereto shall be updated automatically without any formal amendment to reflect the addition of any such additional party.

 

3.11          Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party hereto upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be made in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

 

3.12          No "Bad Actor" Designees. Each person with the right to designate or participate in the designation of a director as specified in the Company’s Articles of Association as currently in effect hereby represents and warrants to the Company that, to such person's knowledge, none of the "bad actor" disqualifying events described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") (each, a "Disqualification Event"), is applicable to such person's initial designee named therein, if applicable, for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable. Any director designee to whom any Disqualification Event is applicable, except for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable, is hereinafter referred to as a "Disqualified Designee". Each person with the right to designate or participate in the designation of a director as specified in the Company’s Articles of Association as currently in effect covenants and agrees (A) not to designate or participate in the designation of any director designee who, to such person's knowledge, is a Disqualified Designee and (B) that in the event such person becomes aware that any individual previously designated by any such person is or has become a Disqualified Designee, such person shall as promptly as practicable take such actions as are necessary to remove such Disqualified Designee from the board of directors and designate a replacement designee who is not a Disqualified Designee.
