Procedures.
(a)
First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions), it shall give to each Participation Rights Holder written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the number 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 ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such First Participation Notice (the “First Participation Period”) to agree in writing to purchase all or a part of such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities at the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the First 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 such New Securities). If any Participation Rights Holder fails to so agree in writing within such First Participation Period, then such Participation Rights Holder’s Right of Participation shall be forfeited.
18
(b)
Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription. If any Participation Rights Holder fails or declines to fully exercise its Right of Participation in accordance with Section 3.4(a) above, the Company shall promptly (but no later than three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the First Participation Period) give a written notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to each of the Participation Rights Holders who exercised their respective Right of Participation to purchase all of their respective Pro Rata Share of the New Securities (the “Right Participants”) in accordance with Section 3.4(a) above. Each Right Participant shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of receipt of the Second Participation Notice (the “Second Participation Period”) to notify the Company of its desire to purchase more than its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, stating the number of the additional New Securities it proposes to buy (the “Additional Number”). Any Right Participant who fails to satisfy the conditions in this Section 3.4(b) within the Second Participation Period will forfeit the right to purchase the Additional Number. If, as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities available for purchase, each oversubscribing Right Participant will be cut back by the Company with respect to its oversubscription to that number of remaining New Securities equal to the lesser of (A) the Additional Number and (B) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for subscription by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by such oversubscribing Right Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by all the oversubscribing Right Participants. Each Right Participant shall be obligated to buy such number of New Securities as determined by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.4 and the Company shall so notify the Right Participants within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the Second Participation Period.
3.5
Failure to Exercise.
To the extent that not all New Securities have been subscribed for by the Participation Rights Holders under the Right of Participation set out in Section 3.4(a) and Section 3.4(b), the Company shall have a ninety (90) day period during which to sell the New Securities described in the First Participation Notice that have not been subscribed by the Participation Rights Holders pursuant to Section 3.4 at the same or higher price and upon non-price terms not more favorable to the purchasers than those specified in the First Participation Notice, such ninety (90) day period to commence (a) upon the expiration of the First Participation Period if no Participation Rights Holder agrees to subscribe for any New Securities, (b) upon the expiration of the Second Participation Rights Period if no Participation Rights Holder agrees to subscribe for any additional New Securities, and (c) if the Company delivers a notice to Rights Participants for their respective Additional Number under the last sentence of Section 3.4(b), the date of such notice. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold such New Securities within such ninety (90) day period, 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.
19
3.6
MB’s Top Up Right.
(a)
Without prejudice to any right of MB as a Participation Rights Holder set forth in this Section 3, in the event that the Company proposes to issue any Shares (including pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants or other rights granted by the Company) to an OEM such that, upon completion of the purchase of such Shares, the OEM would become the Single Largest OEM (assuming for the purposes of this determination that no other OEM, including MB, were to purchase any such Shares) (each, an “OEM Purchaser”), the Company shall give MB written notice of its intention to make such issuance (the “OEM Issuance Notice”), naming the OEM Purchaser and describing the number and type of Shares (such type of Shares being the “OEM New Security”; such number being the “OEM Purchase Securities”), the price per OEM New Security and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the OEM Purchase Securities (including any timing).
“Single Largest OEM” means (at the relevant time of determination and subject to the relevant parameters for determination set out herein) an OEM that holds the greatest number of Deemed Owned Shares as compared with the Deemed Owned Shares of all other Shareholders that are OEMs (including MB); provided that two (2) or more OEMs holding the same and greatest number of Deemed Owned Shares may each be the “Single Largest OEM”.
MB is the “Equal Largest OEM” (and also a Single Largest OEM) when MB holds (at the relevant time of determination and subject to the relevant parameters for determination set out herein) the same number of Deemed Owned Shares as the Single Largest OEM.
“Deemed Owned Shares” means the total number of Ordinary Shares into which the Shares (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not options or warrants or other rights granted by the Company) held by an OEM and/or its Affiliates would convert (as applicable) at the relevant time in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Restated Memorandum and Articles; and, in determining whether an OEM Purchaser or an OEM transferee under Section 4.2 or Section 4.8 is or would be the Single Largest OEM, “Deemed Owned Shares” in connection with a transaction triggering the Top Up Right, shall take into account the Shares to be purchased by such OEM Purchaser or such OEM transferee in such transaction; and, in determining whether MB is or would be the Equal Largest OEM (i) upon exercise of the Top Up Right under this Section 3.6 or Section 4.2, shall take into account the Top Up Securities or the Offered Shares that MB has a right to purchase under Section 4.2 and, in each case, the Exercisable Warrant Shares in connection with such Top Up Right, or (ii) vis-à-vis the OEM transferee under Section 4.8 upon the completion of a Transfer of OEM Transfer Securities to such OEM transferee, shall take into account the Exercisable Warrant Shares.
20
(b)
MB shall be entitled to subscribe for such number of OEM New Securities such that MB would become the Equal Largest OEM, determined as follows:
X = A - B
where:
X is the number of OEM New Securities for which MB is entitled to subscribe (the “Top Up Securities”), as determined by “un-converting” the number of Ordinary Shares derived from the sum of A minus B;
A is the number of Deemed Owned Shares of the Single Largest OEM upon completion of the issuance and sale of the OEM New Securities; and
B is the number of Ordinary Shares into which the sum of (i) all Shares held by MB, (ii) all Shares held by any of MB’s Affiliates plus (iii) all Exercisable Warrant Shares, in each case, would convert (as applicable) at the time of issuance of the OEM New Securities in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Restated Memorandum and Articles.
“Exercisable Warrant Shares” means the number of Warrant Shares issuable under (i) all Warrants held by MB and (ii) all Warrants held by MB’s Affiliates, in each case, that are exercisable at the time of issuance of the OEM New Securities or the time of Transfer of the Offered Shares that MB has a right to purchase under Section 4.2 or the OEM Transfer Securities that MB has a right to purchase under Section 4.8.
(c)
Subject to MB’s exercise of the relevant Warrants for all (but not less than all) of the Exercisable Warrant Shares, MB may exercise the Top Up Right as to all (but not less than all) of the Top Up Securities at the same price per OEM New Security to be paid by, and on the same terms and conditions applicable to, the OEM Purchaser for the OEM Purchase Securities under the relevant agreements and other documentation, by delivering a written notice to the Company (the “Top Up Notice”) within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of the OEM Issuance Notice (the “Top Up Notice Period”), in which Top Up Notice MB shall confirm its intent to purchase the Top Up Securities. Subject to Section 4.9, the Company and MB shall complete the issuance and sale to MB of the Top Up Securities and the Exercisable Warrant Shares within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Top Up Notice (or such longer period as the Company and MB may agree, taking into account time periods under the Warrants relating to the Exercisable Warrant Shares and the terms of the relevant agreement, option or warrant between the Company and the OEM Purchaser relating to the OEM Purchase Securities). MB shall execute and deliver such agreements or instruments as are reasonably necessary for the issuance and sale of the Top Up Securities to MB.
21
(d)
In respect of an OEM Purchaser under a particular OEM Issuance Notice, if under the formula in Section 3.6(b) “X” is calculated as zero (0) or a negative number, then MB shall not have a Top Up Right and shall not be entitled to subscribe for any Top Up Securities in relation to that particular OEM Issuance Notice.
(e)
In that event that MB does not exercise the Top Up Right in accordance with this Section 3.6 in relation to an OEM Purchaser in respect of an OEM Issuance Notice, then:
(i) that OEM Purchaser shall be deemed not to be an OEM for purposes of the Top Up Right, provided that the Company consummates the issuance and sale of the OEM Purchase Securities to the OEM Purchaser in accordance with clause (ii) below; and
(ii) the Company shall have a period of sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Top Up Notice Period during which to sell the OEM Purchase Securities to the OEM Purchaser on the terms and conditions (including the purchase price) specified in the OEM Issuance Notice. In the event that the Company does not consummate the issuance and sale of the OEM Purchase Securities within such sixty (60) day period, the Top Up Right hereunder shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent issuance and sale of Shares to an OEM (including that OEM Purchaser).
(f)
The Top Up Right shall terminate immediately upon the occurrence of the earliest to occur of the following:
(i)
at such time as:
(1)
MB and/or any of its Affiliates sells or otherwise transfers such number of Shares and Warrants representing Warrant Shares equal to or greater than 787,316 Series E+ Shares in any single or series of related transfers, or
(2)
MB and/or its Affiliates sells or otherwise transfers such number of Shares and Warrants representing Warrant Shares equal to or greater than 1,968,290 Series E+ Shares in the aggregate, calculated by adding together all such transfers made commencing from the MB Series E+ Closing,
in each case, as adjusted for share splits or combinations, share dividends or distributions, recapitalizations and similar events; provided, that any transfer by MB of its Shares or Warrants to any of its Affiliates shall not be taken into account in the determination of such number of Shares and Warrants representing Warrant Shares, except in the case of any Affiliate (to which Shares or Warrants have been transferred) that ceases to be an Affiliate of MB; or
22
(ii)
a MB Material Breach.
3.7

Right of First Refusal.
(a)
Transfer Notice. Subject to Section 4.11 and the restrictions set forth in Section 4.1 above, if (i) any of the holders of Ordinary Shares (each a “Selling Shareholder”) proposes to Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares it then owns to one or more third parties or (ii) at any time any Ordinary Shares held by a Selling Shareholder are transferred involuntarily, then such Selling Shareholder shall give the Company and each of the Preferred Shareholders (collectively, the “Non-Selling Shareholders”; for the avoidance of ambiguity, if a Selling Shareholder also owns Preferred Shares in the Company at such time as it proposes to sell its Ordinary Shares, it shall not be counted as a Non-Selling Shareholder who shall be entitled to the right of first refusal and co-sale set forth in this Section 4) a written notice of such Selling Shareholder’s intention to make such Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”), which Transfer Notice shall include (A) a description of the Ordinary Shares to be transferred, including the number of such Ordinary Shares (the “Offered Shares”), (B) the identity of the prospective transferee(s) and (C) the consideration and the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that such Selling Shareholder has received a firm offer from the prospective transferee(s) and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to, or other documentation setting out the terms of, the proposed Transfer.
23
(b)
The Company’s Right of Refusal.
(i)
Subject to Section 4.2(b)(ii), the restriction(s) set forth in this Agreement or under the Applicable Law, the Company shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Shareholder and each Non-Selling Shareholder, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “Company First Refusal Period”), to elect to repurchase all or any part of the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. If the Company elects to repurchase all of the Offered Shares, then the Company shall effect the purchase of the Offered Shares by no later than the later to occur of (i) thirty (30) Business Days after delivery by the Company of the written notice contemplated above and (ii) the closing date (if any) contemplated in the Transfer Notice. If the Company elects to repurchase a part (but not all) of the Offered Shares, then the Company shall effect the purchase of the Offered Shares in accordance with Section 4.2(c)(v) at the same time as the Participating Non-Selling Shareholders.
(ii)
If the Selling Shareholder is the Founder or New Zone, the Company shall not have the right of refusal on the Offered Shares as set out in Section 4.2(b)(i), and such Offered Shares shall be subject only to the Non-Selling Shareholders’ right of refusal as set out in Section 4.2(c).
(c)
Non-Selling Shareholders’ Right of Refusal.
(i)
If and to the extent that any Offered Shares (the “Remaining Offered Shares”) shall have not been repurchased pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(i), or in the case of Offered Shares of the Founder or New Zone such Offered Shares are not subject to the Company’s right of refusal in Section 4.2(b)(i), each Non-Selling Shareholder shall have an option for a period of thirty (30) Business Days following the expiration of the Company First Refusal Period or after the date of the Transfer Notice, as the case may be, to elect to purchase its respective pro rata share of the Remaining Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. Each Non-Selling Shareholder may exercise such purchase option and purchase all or any portion of his, her or its pro rata share of the Remaining Offered Shares (a “Participating Non-Selling Shareholder”), by notifying the Selling Shareholder and the Company in writing, before expiration of such thirty (30) Business Day period as to the number of such shares that it wishes to purchase (the “Participating Non-Selling Shareholder Notice”). Each Non-Selling Shareholder’s pro rata share of the Remaining Offered Shares shall be a fraction of the Remaining Offered Shares, the numerator of which shall be the number of the Ordinary Shares (calculated based on an as-converted basis) owned by such Non-Selling Shareholder on the date of the Transfer Notice (such date being the “Measuring Date”) and denominator of which shall be the total number of the Ordinary Shares (calculated based on an as-converted basis) held by all Non-Selling Shareholders on the Measuring Date.
24
(ii)
In the event any Non-Selling Shareholder elects not to purchase any or all of its pro rata share of the Remaining Offered Shares available pursuant to its option under Section 4.2(c)(i) within the thirty (30) Business Day time period set forth therein, then the Selling Shareholder shall promptly, but in any event within two (2) Business Days after the expiration of such time period, give a written notice (the “Overallotment Notice”) to each Participating Non-Selling Shareholder that has elected to purchase all of its pro rata share of the Remaining Offered Shares (each a “Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholder”), which notice shall set forth the number of the Remaining Offered Shares not purchased by the other Non-Selling Shareholders (the “Unpurchased Offered Shares”), and shall offer the Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholders the right to acquire the Unpurchased Offered Shares. Each Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholder shall have fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of the Overallotment Notice to deliver a written notice to the Selling Shareholder (the “Participating Holders Overallotment Notice”) of its election to purchase a number of the Unpurchased Offered Shares.
(iii)
Such right of re-allotment shall be subject to the following conditions: (A) each Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholder shall first notify the Selling Shareholder of its desire to increase the number of the Remaining Offered Shares it agreed to purchase under Section 4.2(c)(i), stating the maximum number of the Unpurchased Offered Shares it proposes to buy (the “Additional Offered Shares”); (B) such notice may be made by telephone if confirmed in writing within two (2) Business Days thereafter; (C) if, as a result thereof, the total number of Additional Offered Shares the Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholders propose to buy is equal to or less than the total number of the Unpurchased Offered Shares, then the Selling Shareholder shall allocate to each Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholder its Additional Offered Shares. If, as a result thereof, the total number of Additional Offered Shares the Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholders propose to buy exceeds the total number of the Unpurchased Offered Shares, then the Selling Shareholder shall allocate to each Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholder the lesser of (x) its Additional Offered Shares and (y) its pro rata share of the Unpurchased Offered Shares. For the purposes of this Section 4.2(c)(iii), “pro rata share of the Unpurchased Offered Shares” means a fraction of the Unpurchased Offered Shares, the numerator of which shall be the number of the Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by such Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholder on the Measuring Date and the denominator of which shall be the total number of the Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by all the Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholders on the Measuring Date; (D) if less than all of the Unpurchased Offered Shares have been allocated according to paragraph (C) above, the unallocated Unpurchased Offered Shares shall be allocated to all Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholders who desire to purchase more than their respective pro rata share of the Unpurchased Offered Shares so that, unless otherwise agreed among such Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholders, each of such Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholders will be allocated such additional number of Unpurchased Offered Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the number of the unallocated Unpurchased Offered Shares by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by such Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholder on the Measuring Date and the denominator of which is the total number of the Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by all the Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholders on the Measuring Date; and (E) no allocation shall be made to a Fully Participating Non-Selling Shareholder of more than its Additional Offered Shares.
25
(iv)
If there are any remaining Unpurchased Offered Shares available for purchase after allocation in accordance with paragraph (D) of Section 4.2(c)(iii) above, then (A) to the extent that any of the prospective transferees identified in the Transfer Notice is an OEM and, after completion of the purchase of such Unpurchased Offered Shares, such OEM would become the Single Largest OEM, MB shall have the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of such number of the remaining Unpurchased Offered Shares (taking into account any Offered Shares that MB has the right and has agreed to purchase in accordance with this Section 4.2 and all (but not less than all) of Exercisable Warrant Shares) in order for MB together with its Affiliates to become the Equal Largest OEM with such OEM, and the Selling Shareholder shall have the right to allocate the balance of Unpurchased Offered Shares (after exercise of MB’s right under this Section 4.2) and sell any or all of such balance of Unpurchased Offered Shares to the prospective transferee(s) (including such OEM) identified in the Transfer Notice in accordance with Section 4.4, and (B) if none of the prospective transferees identified in the Transfer Notice is an OEM, the Selling Shareholder shall have the discretion to allocate and sell any or all of those remaining Unpurchased Offered Shares to the prospective transferee(s) identified in the Transfer Notice in accordance with Section 4.4. For the avoidance of doubt, the same principles of converting and un-converting for calculations and comparisons expressed in Section 3.6 shall apply mutatis mutandis to this Section 4.2.
(v)
The Participating Non-Selling Shareholders (including MB) shall effect the purchase of the Remaining Offered Shares (including the Unpurchased Offered Shares) with payment by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Remaining Offered Shares (including the Unpurchased Offered Shares) to be purchased at a place agreed upon among the relevant parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than the later to occur of (A) sixty (60) days after the date of the Transfer Notice (or the Overallotment Notice, if applicable) given to the Non-Selling Shareholder of and (B) the closing date (if any) contemplated in the Transfer Notice. If applicable, MB shall simultaneously purchase all (but not less than all) of the Exercisable Warrant Shares from the Company.
26
(vi)
In that event that MB does not exercise its right of refusal under this Section 4.2(c) in respect of any prospective transferee identified in the Transfer Notice as an OEM, then that OEM transferee shall be deemed not to be an OEM for purposes of the Top Up Right, provided that the Offered Shares are sold in accordance with this Section 4.2(c).
(d)
Price of Involuntary Transfer.
In the event that the Transfer in question is by operation of law or another involuntary Transfer (including a Transfer due to death, incapacity, divorce, legal separation or bankruptcy), the price per share shall be the greater of (A) the original purchase price paid by Selling Shareholder for such Offered Shares (as adjusted for share splits or combinations, share dividends or distributions, recapitalizations and similar events) or (B) the fair market value of such Offered Shares, which shall be a price as determined by a Board Supermajority (including the affirmative votes of the PSD Majority) that will reflect the current value of the shares in terms of present earnings and future prospects of the Company, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Company of the Transfer Notice. In the event that the Selling Shareholder or the Selling Shareholder’s executor, trustee in bankruptcy, guardian or similar in the case of incapacity (as the case may be) disagrees with such valuation as determined by the Board, the Selling Shareholder or the Selling Shareholder’s executor, trustee or guardian (as the case may be) shall be entitled to have the valuation determined by an independent appraiser to be agreed upon by the Company, the Non-Selling Shareholders and the Selling Shareholder or the Selling Shareholder’s executor, trustee or guardian (as the case may be) the fees of which appraiser shall be borne by the Selling Shareholder or the Selling Shareholder’s estate, trustee or guardian (as the case may be).
4.3
Right of Co-Sale.
(a)
Co-Sale Right. Subject to Section 4.11, each Non-Selling Shareholder who elects not to exercise its right of first refusal under Section 4.2 (a “Co-Sale Participant”) shall have the right to participate in such sale of Offered Shares on the same terms and conditions as specified in such Transfer Notice, as long as it delivers a notice to the Selling Shareholder in writing within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Transfer Notice referred to in Section 4.2(a). Such Co-Sale Participant’s notice to the Selling Shareholder shall indicate the number of the Preferred Shares or the Conversion Shares that the Co-Sale Participant wishes to sell. To the extent that one or more of the Co-Sale Participants 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 shall be correspondingly reduced.
27
(b)
Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion. Each Co-Sale Participant may sell all or any part of that number of the Preferred Shares or the Conversion Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate number of Offered Shares covered by the Transfer Notice, by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by such Co-Sale Participant on the Measuring Date and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by all Co-Sale Participants and the Selling Shareholder, calculated on the Measuring Date (referred to as the “Co-Sale Shares”).
(c)
Transferred Shares. Each Co-Sale Participant shall effect its participation in the Transfer by promptly delivering to the Selling Shareholder for Transfer to the prospective purchaser an instrument of transfer duly executed by such Co-Sale Participant and, if any, one or more certificates, properly endorsed for Transfer, which represent the number of the Co-Sale Shares which such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell; provided, however, that if the prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of Preferred Shares in lieu of Ordinary Shares, such Co-Sale Participant intending to sell Preferred Shares shall first convert such Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares and deliver Ordinary Shares as provided in this Section 4.3(c). The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual Transfer of such shares to the prospective purchaser and contingent upon such Transfer.
(d)

If traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution; and
(iii)
If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof as determined by a Board Supermajority (which decision shall include the affirmative votes of the PSD Majority), or by a liquidator if one is appointed.
The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability shall be adjusted to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) to reflect the fair market value thereof as determined by a Board Supermajority (which decision shall include the affirmative votes of the PSD Majority), or by a liquidator if one is appointed. The Majority Preferred Shareholders shall have the right to challenge any such determination by the Board, or the liquidator, as the case may be, of fair market value pursuant to this Section 10.7(c), in which case the determination of fair market value shall be made by an independent appraiser selected jointly by the Board or the liquidator, as the case may be, and the challenging parties, with the cost of such appraisal to be borne equally by the Company and the challenging parties.

In the event of any registration pursuant to this Section 11.3, the Company shall register and qualify the securities covered by the registration statement under the securities laws of any other jurisdictions outside of the United States or elsewhere as shall be appropriate for the distribution of the securities; provided, however, that (a) the Company shall not be required to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such state or jurisdiction, and (b) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the securities be borne by selling shareholders, the expenses shall be payable pro rata by the selling shareholders.
11.4
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 the purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization or other Rule 145 transaction, an offer and sale of debt securities, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales) or exercising the demand registration rights by the Initiating Holders under Section 11.3, 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. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
53
(b)
Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 11.4 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 11.4 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 but subject to Section 11.12, 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 each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of 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 thirty percent (30%) 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 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 a simple majority of the Holders of the Registrable Securities in writing. 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.
54
(c)
Not Demand Registration. Registration pursuant to this Section 11.4 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 11.3 above. There shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 11.4.
11.5
Form F-3 Registration.
In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of a simple majority of all Registrable Securities Then Outstanding a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-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 Holders or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within twenty (20) days after the Company provides the notice contemplated by Section 11.5(a); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 11.5:
(i)
if Form F-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
(ii)
if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than US$1,000,000;
(iii)
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 of Directors of the Company, it would be materially 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 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 11.5; provided that the Company shall not register any of its other shares during such sixty (60) day period;
55
(iv)
if the Company has, within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration under the Securities Act other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Holders requested be included in such registration) pursuant to the provisions of Sections 11.3(b) and 11.4(b); or
(v)
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 registrations shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 11.3 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 11.5.
(d)
Underwriting. If the Holders of Registrable Securities requesting registration under this Section 11.5 intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, the provisions of Section 11.3(b) shall apply to such registration.
11.6
Expenses.
All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to Sections 11.3, 11.4 or 11.5 shall be borne by the Company but excluding the Selling Expenses.

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

56
(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 reasonable 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 simple 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 simple majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any.
57
11.8
Furnish Information.
It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 11.3, 11.4 or 11.5 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.
11.9
Indemnification.
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 11.3, 11.4 or 11.5:
(a)
By the Company. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its Affiliates, partners, general partners, limited partners, shareholders, officers, employees, 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 (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”), 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”):
(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;
(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 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 Company Indemnitee 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 Section 11.9(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 Company Indemnitee.
58
(b)
By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by Applicable 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 or the Exchange Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, general partners, limited partners, shareholders, directors, officers, legal counsel or any Person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Selling Holder Indemnitees”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the Selling Holder Indemnitees 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 Selling Holder Indemnitees in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 11.9(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 11.9(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 11.9 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 indemnifying party under this Section 11.9, 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 11.9 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 11.9.
59
(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 11.9 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 11.9 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 11.9; 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 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.
(e)
Survival; Consents to Judgments and Settlements. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 11.9 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.
60
11.10
Termination of the Company’s Obligations.

No Registration Rights to Third Parties.
Without the prior written consent of the Holders of a simple majority in interest of the Registrable Securities Then Outstanding, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any Person any registration rights of any kind (whether similar to the demand, “piggyback” or Form F-3 registration rights described in this Section 11, 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.
11.12
Rule 144 Reporting.
With a view to making available to the Holders 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)

Transfer of Rights.
The forgoing Registration Rights may be assigned to any transferee of Preferred Shares.
