2.1                               Registration Other Than on Form F-3 or Form S-3. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, at any time or from time to time after the date that is six (6) months after the closing of the IPO, Holders may request in writing that the Company effect a Registration of Registrable Securities having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of underwriting discounts, commissions, American depositary share issuance fees and stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities (the “Selling Expenses”), in excess of US$400,000,000. Upon receipt of such a request, the Company shall (x) promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other Holders and (y) as soon as practicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities specified in the request, together with any Registrable Securities of any Holder who requests in writing to join such Registration within fifteen (15) days after the Company’s delivery of written notice, to be Registered and/or qualified for sale and distribution in such jurisdiction as the Initiating Holders may request.

14











 

2.2                               Registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Company qualifies for registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any comparable form for Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States), Holders holding thirty percent (30%) or more of the voting power of the then outstanding Registrable Securities held by all Holders may request the Company to file, in any jurisdiction in which the Company has had a registered underwritten public offering, a Registration Statement on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any comparable form for Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States), including without limitation any registration statement filed under the Securities Act providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or a delayed basis by the Holders of, all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act and/or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission. Upon receipt of such a request, the Company shall (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other Holders and (ii) as soon as practicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities specified in the request, together with any Registrable Securities of any Holder who requests in writing to join such Registration within fifteen (15) days after the Company’s delivery of written notice, to be Registered and qualified for sale and distribution in such jurisdiction. The Company shall be obligated to effect no more than three (3) Registrations that have been declared and ordered effective within any twelve (12)-month period pursuant to this Section 2.2; provided that if the sale of all of the Registrable Securities sought to be included pursuant to this Section 2.2 is not consummated pursuant to Section 2.4  or for any reason other than solely due to the action or inaction of the Holders including Registrable Securities in such Registration, such Registration shall not be deemed to constitute one of the Registration rights granted pursuant to this Section 2.2.

 

2.3                            Right of Deferral.

 

(a)                                 The Company shall not be obligated to Register or qualify Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2:

 

(1)                                 if, within ten (10) days of the receipt of any request of the Holders to Register any Registrable Securities under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Company gives notice to the Initiating Holders of its bona fide intention to effect the filing for its own account of a Registration Statement of Ordinary Shares within sixty (60) days of receipt of that request; provided, that the Company is actively employing in good faith its commercially reasonable efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days of receipt of that request; provided, further, that the Holders are entitled to join such Registration in accordance with Section 3 (other than an Exempt Registration (as defined below));

 

(2)                                 during the period starting with the date of filing by the Company of, and ending six (6) months following the effective date of any Registration Statement pertaining to Ordinary Shares other than an Exempt Registration; provided, that the Holders are entitled to join such Registration in accordance with Section 3;

 

15











 

(3)                                 in any jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such Registration or qualification, unless the Company is already subject to service of process in such jurisdiction; or

 

(4)                                 with respect to the registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any comparable form for Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States), if Form F-3 or Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders, or 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, net of Selling Expenses, of less than US$2,000,000.

 

(b)                                 If, after receiving a request from Holders pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 hereof, the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate signed by the chief executive officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its members for a Registration Statement to be filed in the near future, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period during which such filing would be materially detrimental, provided, that the Company may not utilize this right for more than one hundred and twenty (120) days on any one occasion or more than once during any twelve (12) month period; provided, further, that the Company may not Register any other securities during such period (except for Exempt Registrations).

 

2.4                               Underwritten Offerings. If, in connection with a request to Register Registrable Securities under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Initiating Holders seek to distribute such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of the request, and the Company shall include such information in the written notice to the other Holders described in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwritten offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwritten offering (unless otherwise mutually agreed by 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 of internationally recognized standing selected for such underwritten offering by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors (including without limitation the aggregate number of securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten in a Registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the underwriters may exclude up to seventy percent (70%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered but only after first excluding all other Equity Securities from the Registration and underwritten offering and so long as the number of shares to be included in the Registration on behalf of the non-excluded Holders is allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included, provided that any Initiating Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for Registration from the underwriting by written notice to the Company and the underwriters delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, and such withdrawn request for Registration shall not be deemed to constitute one of the Registration rights granted pursuant to Section 2.1  or Section 2.2, as the case may be. If any Holder disapproves the terms of any underwriting, the Holder may also elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriters delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from the Registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to a Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.

3.                                      Piggyback Registrations.

 

3.1                               Registration of the Company’s Securities. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Company proposes to Register for its own account any of its Equity Securities, or for the account of any holder (other than a Holder) of Equity Securities any of such holder’s Equity Securities, in connection with the public offering of such securities (except for Exempt Registrations), the Company shall promptly give each Holder written notice of such Registration and, upon the written request of any Holder given within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such notice, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in such Registration any Registrable Securities thereby requested to be Registered by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all or any of its Registrable Securities in such Registration 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, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

3.2                               Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration initiated by it under Section 3.1 prior to the effectiveness of such Registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to participate therein. The expenses of such withdrawn Registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 4.3.

 

3.3                               Underwriting Requirements.

 

(a)                                 In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of the Company’s Equity Securities, the Company shall not be required to Register the Registrable Securities of a Holder under this Section 3 unless such Holder’s Registrable Securities are included in the underwritten offering and such Holder enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters of internationally recognized standing selected by the Company and setting forth such terms for the underwritten offering as have been agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters. In the event the underwriters advise Holders seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 in writing that market factors (including the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the underwriters may exclude all of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered in an IPO and up to seventy percent (70%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered in any other public offering, but in any case only after first excluding all other Equity Securities (except for securities sold for the account of the Company) from the Registration and underwriting and so long as the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration on behalf of any non-excluded Holders are allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to a Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.

 

17











 

(b)                                 If any Holder disapproves the terms of any underwriting, the Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriters delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities so excluded or withdrawn from the underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from the Registration.

 

3.4                               Exempt Registrations. The Company shall have no obligation to Register any Registrable Securities under this Section 3 in connection with a Registration by the Company (i) relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company share plan, (ii) relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act (or comparable provision under the Laws of another jurisdiction, as applicable), (iii) 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 and does not permit secondary sales, or (iv) a registration in which the only Ordinary Shares being registered are Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered (collectively, “Exempt Registrations”).

 

4.                                      Registration Procedures.

 

4.1                               Registration Procedures and Obligations. Whenever required under this Agreement to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities held by the Holders, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(g)                                  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 for sale in connection with a Registration pursuant to this Agreement, (A) an opinion, dated the date of the sale, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of the Registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering; and (B) comfort letters dated as of (x) the effective date of the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities, and (y) the date of the sale as contemplated in Rule 159 under the Securities Act, 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;

 

(h)                                 Otherwise comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent applicable to the applicable registration statement and use its commercially reasonable efforts to make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of a twelve (12) month period (or ninety (90) days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of such registration statement, which statement shall cover such twelve (12) month period, subject to any proper and necessary extensions;

 

(i)                                     Not, without the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of voting power of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, make any offer relating to the securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act;

 

(j)                                    Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities Registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and, where applicable, a number assigned by the Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures for all those Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of the Registration; and

 

19











 

(k)                                 Take all reasonable actions necessary to list the Registrable Securities on the primary exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded or, in connection with an IPO, the primary exchange on which the Company’s securities will be traded.

 

4.2                               Information from Holder. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement 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.

 

4.3                               Expenses of Registration.

The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for any expenses of any Registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 of this Agreement if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered by all Holders in such Registration (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be thereby Registered in the withdrawn Registration) unless the Holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the Registrable Securities then outstanding agree that such registration constitutes the use by the Holders of one (1) demand registration pursuant to Section 2.1 (in which case such registration shall also constitute the use by all Holders of Registrable Securities of one (1) such demand registration); 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 that is not 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 the Company shall pay any and all such expenses. All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to Section 2 shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.

 

5.                                      Registration-Related Indemnification.

 

5.1                               Company Indemnity.

 

(a)                                 To the maximum extent permitted by Law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, such Holder’s partners, officers, directors, shareholders, members, and legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each Person, if any, who controls (as defined in the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under Laws which are applicable to the Company and relate to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any Registration, qualification, or compliance, 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 (each a “Violation”): (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, on the effective date thereof (including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto), (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, on the effective date thereof (including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto), a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (c) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of Applicable Securities Laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under Applicable Securities Laws. The Company will reimburse, as incurred, each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

 

20











 

(b)                                 The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.1 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 or delayed), 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 solely out of or is solely based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished for use in connection with such Registration by any such Holder, such Holder’s partners, officers, directors, and legal counsel, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each Person, if any, who controls (as defined in the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter.

 

5.2                            Holder Indemnity.

 

(a)                                 To the maximum extent permitted by Law, each selling Holder that has included Registrable Securities in a Registration will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, underwriters (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in connection with such Registration and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company, 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 Applicable Securities Laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under Applicable 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 for use in connection with such Registration; and each such Holder will reimburse, as incurred, any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.2, 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. No Holder’s liability under this Section 5.2 (when combined with any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 5.4) shall exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder from the offering of securities made in connection with that Registration, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

 

(b)                                 The indemnity contained in this Section 5.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

21











 

5.3                               Notice of Indemnification Claim. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 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 Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, 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 indemnifying parties. 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 reasonably incurred 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 prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 5, but the omission 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 5. 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 the plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

5.4                               Contribution. If any indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 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, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall 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. 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: (A) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount (after combined with any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 5.2) 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, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

5.5          Underwriting Agreement.  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.

 

5.6                               Survival. Without prejudice to Section 5.5, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 5 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement, regardless of the expiration of any statutes of limitation or extensions of such statutes.

6.                                      Additional Registration-Related Undertakings.

 

6.1                               Reports under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any comparable provision of any Applicable Securities Laws in any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company without Registration or pursuant to a Registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any comparable form in a jurisdiction other than the United States), the Company agrees to:

 

(a)                                 make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 (or comparable provision, if any, under Applicable Securities Laws in any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), at all times following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first Registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

 

(b)                                 file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under all Applicable Securities Laws; and

 

(c)                                  at any time following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first Registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public by the Company, promptly furnish to any Holder holding Registrable Securities, upon request (a) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Rule 144 (or comparable provision, if any, under Applicable Securities Laws in any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed) at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements or, at any time after so qualified, that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any form comparable thereto under Applicable Securities Laws of any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), (b) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents as filed by the Company with the Commission, and (c) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission, that permits the selling of any such securities without Registration or pursuant to Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any form comparable thereto under Applicable Securities Laws of any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed).

 

6.2                               Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the written consent of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding Registrable Securities held by all Holders (calculated on an as-converted to Ordinary Share basis), including the approval of the Majority Preferred Holders, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any Equity Securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (i) to include such Equity Securities in any Registration filed under Section 2 or Section 3, unless under the terms of such agreement such holder or prospective holder may include such Equity Securities in any such Registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such Equity Securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included, (ii) to demand Registration of their Equity Securities, or (iii) cause the Company to include such Equity Securities in any Registration filed under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof on a basis pari passu with or more favorable to such holder or prospective holder than is provided to the Holders of Registrable Securities.

 

23











 

6.3                               “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees, if so required by the managing underwriter(s), that it will not during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s IPO and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date of such final prospectus or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (a) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (b) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto) (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, hedge, sell, make any short sale of, loan, 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 Equity Securities of the Company owned or controlled by it immediately prior to the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s IPO (other than those included in such offering), 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 such Equity Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Equity Securities of the Company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, that (a) the forgoing provisions of this Section shall not apply to the sale of any securities of the Company to an underwriter pursuant to any underwriting agreement, and shall not be applicable to any Holder unless all directors, officers and all other holders of at least one percent (1%) of the outstanding share capital of the Company (calculated on an as-converted to Ordinary Share basis) are bound by restrictions at least as restrictive as those applicable to any such Holder pursuant to this Section, (y) this Section shall not apply to a Holder to the extent that any other Person subject to substantially similar restrictions is released in whole or in part, and (z) the lockup agreements shall permit a Holder to transfer their Registrable Securities to their respective Affiliates (and, in the case of Alibaba or Ant Financial, also to Ant Financial (in the case of Alibaba) or Alibaba (in the case of Ant Financial)) so long as the transferees enter into the same lockup agreement. The Investors agree to execute and deliver to the underwriters a lock-up agreement containing substantially similar terms and conditions as those contained herein.

 

6.4                               Termination of Registration Rights. The registration rights set forth in Section 2 and Section 3 of this Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the date that is three (3) years from the date of closing of a Qualified IPO, (ii) with respect to any Registrable Securities, the date on which the Holder of such Registrable Securities may sell all of such Registrable Securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or comparable provision, if any, under Applicable Securities Laws in any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed) in any ninety (90)-day period.

 

6.5                               Exercise of Ordinary Share Equivalents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to Register Registrable Securities which, if constituting Ordinary Share Equivalents, have not been exercised, converted or exchanged, as applicable, for Ordinary Shares as of the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, but the Company shall cooperate and facilitate any such exercise, conversion or exchange as requested by the applicable Holder in accordance with this Agreement.

 

6.6                               Intent. The terms of Sections 2 through 6 are drafted primarily in contemplation of an offering of securities in the United States. The parties recognize, however, the possibility that securities may be qualified or registered for offering to the public in a jurisdiction other than the United States where registration rights have significance or that the Company might effect an offering in the United States in the form of American Depositary Receipts or American Depositary Shares. Accordingly:

 

24











 

(a)                                 it is their intention that, whenever this Agreement refers to a Law, form, process or institution of the United States but the parties wish to effectuate qualification or registration in a different jurisdiction where registration rights have significance, reference in this Agreement to the Laws or institutions of the United States shall be read as referring, mutatis mutandis, to the comparable Laws or institutions of the jurisdiction in question; and

 

(b)                                 it is agreed that the Company will not undertake any listing of American Depositary Receipts, American Depositary Shares or any other security derivative of the Ordinary Shares unless arrangements have been made reasonably satisfactory to the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding Registrable Securities held by all Holders (calculated on an as-converted to Ordinary Share basis), including the approval of the Majority Preferred Holders, to ensure that the spirit and intent of this Agreement will be realized and that the Company is committed to taking such actions as are necessary such that the Holders will enjoy rights corresponding to the rights hereunder to sell their Registrable Securities in a public offering in the United States as if the Company had listed Ordinary Shares in lieu of such derivative securities.

 

7.                                      Preemptive Right.

 

7.1                               General. The Company hereby grants to each Preemptive Rights Holder a right, but not an obligation, to purchase such Preemptive Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below) (and any oversubscription, as provided below), of all (or any part) of any New Securities (as defined below) that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement (the “Preemptive Right”).

 

7.2                               Pro Rata Share. A Preemptive Rights Holder’s “Pro Rata Share” for purposes of the Preemptive Rights is the ratio of (a) the number of Ordinary Shares (on a fully diluted basis, including Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis, assuming full conversion and exercise of all outstanding options and other outstanding convertible and exercisable securities) held by such Preemptive Rights Holder, to (b) the total number of Ordinary Shares (on a fully diluted basis, including Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis, assuming full conversion and exercise of all outstanding options and other outstanding convertible and exercisable securities) then outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities giving rise to the Preemptive Rights.

 

7.3                               New Securities. Subject to the approval requirements under Sections 10.1 and 10.2, for purposes hereof, “New Securities” shall mean any Equity Securities of the Company issued after the date hereof, except for:

 

(a)                                 Ordinary Shares, options and/or restricted share units therefor reserved for issuance to employees, officers, directors, contractors, advisors or consultants of the Group Companies under the Share Incentive Plans;

 

(b)                                 Ordinary Shares actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, provided that such issuance is made pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Security (which Convertible Security has been duly approved in accordance with this Agreement or issued prior to the date of this Agreement);

 

25











 

(c)                                  any Equity Securities of the Company issued in connection with any share split, share dividend, reclassification or other similar event; provided that the primary purpose of such issuance is not for equity financing purposes;

 

(d)                                 any Equity Securities of the Company issued pursuant to a bona fide firmly underwritten public offering;

 

(e)                                  any Equity Securities of the Company issued pursuant to the bona fide acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Company by consolidation, merger, purchase of assets, or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, all or substantially all assets of such other corporation or entity, or fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity ownership or voting power of such other corporation or entity;

 

(f)                                   any Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares;

 

(g)                                  any Equity Securities of the Company issued upon the exercise of certain warrant dated January 16, 2014 issued by the Company to CD Mobile Transport Limited (the “Series A-11 Warrant”), pursuant to which CD Mobile Transport Limited is entitled to purchase Series A-11 Preferred Shares for an aggregate purchase price of up to US$10,000,000 at US$2.2185 per share;

 

(h)                                 any Equity Securities of the Company, the issuance of which is approved pursuant to Sections 10.1 and 10.2 and is not offered to any then existing Shareholder of the Company; provided that if any of such Equity Securities of the Company is issued at a per share price based on the valuation of the Company that is less than US$50.9321 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events), such Equity Securities shall be deemed as “New Securities” and such issuance shall be subject to the Preemptive Right pursuant to this Section 7;

 

(i)                                     the Series A-18 Preferred Shares up to the number authorized under the Memorandum and Articles;

 

(j)                                    the Series B-1 Preferred Shares issued pursuant to the terms of the Uber Merger Agreement; and

 

(k)                                 the Series B-2 Preferred Shares issued up to the number authorized under the Memorandum and Articles.

 

7.4                               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 Preemptive Rights Holder written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the amount and type of New Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Preemptive Rights Holder shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt of any such First Participation Notice to agree in writing to purchase up to such Preemptive Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for 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 Preemptive Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share). If any Preemptive Rights Holder fails to so respond in writing within such ten (10) Business Day period, then such Preemptive Rights Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities, but shall not be deemed to forfeit any right with respect to any issuance of other New Securities.

 

26











 

(b)                                 Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription. If any Preemptive Rights Holder fails or declines to exercise its Preemptive Rights in full in accordance with subsection (a) above, the Company shall promptly give notice (the “Second Participation  Notice”) to other Preemptive Rights Holders who have exercised in full their Preemptive Rights (the “Oversubscription Participants”) in accordance with subsection (a) above. Each Oversubscription Participant shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date 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. Such notice may be made by telephone if confirmed in writing within five (5) Business Days thereafter. If, as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities the Preemptive Rights Holders are entitled to purchase in accordance with Section 7.1, each Oversubscription Participant will be cut back by the Company with respect to its oversubscription to such number of remaining New Securities equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for subscription by the Preemptive Rights Holders by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (including Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis) held by such Oversubscription Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (including Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis) held by all the Oversubscription Participants exercising its oversubscription right under this subsection (b).

 

7.5                               Failure to Exercise.

 

Upon the expiration of the Second Participation Period or, in the event that no Preemptive Rights Holder exercises the Preemptive Rights within ten (10) Business Days following the issuance of the First Participation Notice, the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to complete the sale of the New Securities described in the First Participation Notice with respect to which the Preemptive Rights hereunder were not exercised, at the same or higher price and upon non-price terms not more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those specified in the First Participation 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 Preemptive Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 7.

 

7.6                               Allocation among Affiliates and Certain Other Persons.

 

Each Preemptive Rights Holder shall be entitled to allocate among and assign to its Affiliates (and, in the case of Alibaba or Ant Financial, also to Ant Financial (in the case of Alibaba) or Alibaba (in the case of Ant Financial)), in its discretion, all or a portion of its right to subscribe for the New Securities that such Preemptive Rights Holder is entitled to subscribe for pursuant to this Section 7, provided that such Preemptive Rights Holder shall notify the Company in writing of such allocation and assignment.

 

27











 

8.                                      Information and Inspection Rights.

 

8.1                               Delivery of Financial Statements to Information Rights Holders.

 

The Group Companies shall deliver to each Information Rights Holder the following documents or reports:

28









 

Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 8.1 to the contrary, the Company may cease providing the information set forth in this Section 8.1 during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days before the Company’s good-faith estimate of the date of filing of a registration statement if it reasonably concludes it must do so to comply with the Commission rules applicable to such registration statement and related offering; provided that the Company’s covenants under this Section 8.1 shall be reinstated at such time as the Company is no longer actively employing its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.

 

8.2                          Inspection Rights. The Group Companies and the Didi Principals covenant and agree that each Information Rights Holder shall have the right, at its own expenses, to reasonably inspect facilities, properties, records and books of each Group Company at any time during regular working hours on reasonable prior notice to such Group Company and the right to discuss the business, operation and conditions of a Group Company with any Group Company’s directors, officers, employees, accountants, legal counsels and investment bankers; provided, however, that the Group Companies shall not be obligated under this Section 8.2 to provide access to any information (i) that the Board reasonably determines in good faith to be a trade secret or (ii) the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Group Companies and their counsel.

 

9.                                      Election of Directors.

 

9.1                          Board of Directors.

 

(a)                                 Subject to  Section 9.1(c), the Company shall have, and the Parties agree to cause the Company to have, a Board consisting of up to eight (8) authorized Directors with voting right and one (1) Non-Voting Director. The composition of eight (8) authorized Directors with voting right is determined as follows:

 

(i)                                     For so long as he acts as a member of the senior management of the Company, CHENG Wei shall be one (1) voting Director on the Board, and shall be the chairman of the Board who shall have a casting vote (without prejudice to Section 10.2).

Before the submission of any Filing Documents on behalf of a Filing Shareholder to a PRC tax authority, the Company shall, and shall procure that the Filing Agent shall, (i) confer with such Filing Shareholder in good faith regarding the timing and venue of its proposed filing, (ii) provide a copy of its proposed Filing Documents to such Filing Shareholder and consider any reasonable comments raised by such Filing Shareholder, and (iii) obtain the written consent of such Filing Shareholder before submitting any Filing Documents on behalf of such Filing Shareholder (provided that, if the Filing Shareholder unreasonably withholds or delays such written consent (or subsequently elects to become an Independent Filing Shareholder), the Filing Shareholder shall then not be entitled to borrow any Tax Loans (as defined below) pursuant to Section 11.17(g)). The Filing Agent shall provide to each Shareholder written evidence of submitting the Filing Documents on behalf of the Filing Shareholders to the appropriate PRC tax authority within ten (10) calendar days of such submission.

 

(c)                                  In the event that a Shareholder (other than a Filing Shareholder) desires to make a capital gain tax filing in China relating to the Kuaidi Merger (such Shareholder, an “Independent Filing Shareholder”), such Independent Filing Shareholder shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, before submitting Filing Documents to a PRC tax authority, (i) confer with the Company and the Filing Agent in good faith regarding the timing and venue of its proposed filing, (ii) provide a copy of its proposed Filing Documents to the Company and the Filing Agent and consider any reasonable comments raised by the Company and the Filing Agent, and (iii) coordinate with the Company and the Filing Agent so that the filings by the Independent Filing Shareholder and the Filing Shareholders will be made within a similar timeframe with the applicable PRC tax authority; provided that (A) no Independent Filing Shareholder shall be required, and the Company shall not be permitted to, provide to the Filing Agent a copy of such Independent Filing Shareholder’s Filing Documents or other information or documents provided to the Company in connection therewith without such Independent Filing Shareholder’s prior written consent (and, if required by such Independent Filing Shareholder, the execution of a mutually acceptable confidentiality agreement by the Filing Agent) and (B) nothing herein shall require, or be deemed to require, any Independent Filing Shareholder to file in any particular venue or at any particular time or to accept any comments on such Independent Filing Shareholder’s Filing Documents. The Company shall, and if disclosure to the Filing Agent is consented to in writing by an Independent Filing Shareholder, shall procure that the Filing Agent agrees to, keep the Filing Documents provided by such Independent Filing Shareholder in confidence and shall not disclose any confidential information set forth in or provided in connection with the Filing Documents without the prior written consent of such Independent Filing Shareholder. An Independent Filing Shareholder may redact any confidential information from the Filing Documents to be provided to the Company and, if disclosure to the Filing Agent is consented to in writing by an Independent Filing Shareholder, the Filing Agent, in which event such Independent Filing Shareholder shall provide a fair description of the nature of such redacted confidential information.

 

(d)                                 Upon the request of any Independent Filing Shareholder, the Company shall, and shall cause the Filing Agent to, at the Company’s cost, (i) coordinate with such Independent Filing Shareholder regarding the proposed submission of the Filing Documents on behalf of the Filing Shareholders and (ii) share resources, information and documents reviewed, prepared, analyzed or utilized in connection with the proposed submission of the Filing Documents on behalf of the Filing Shareholders; provided that (A) neither the Company nor the Filing Agent shall be required to provide to such Independent Filing Shareholder a copy of any Filing Shareholder’s Filing Documents or other information or documents provided to the Company or the Filing Agent in connection therewith without such Filing Shareholder’s prior written consent (and, if required by such Filing Shareholder, the execution of a mutually acceptable confidentiality agreement by such Independent Filing Shareholder) and (B) nothing herein shall require, or be deemed to require, the Company or the Filing Agent to file in any particular venue or at any particular time or to accept any comments made by such Independent Filing Shareholder with respect to the proposed submission of the Filing Documents on behalf of the Filing Shareholders.

(e)                                  The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Filing Agent to, as soon as practicable and in any event within three months after the Company receives the Power of Attorneys from all the Filing Shareholders, submit the Filing Documents to the appropriate PRC tax authority and shall, promptly after completion of the filing, deliver to each of the Filing Shareholders a copy of its Filing Documents (but shall not disclose the Filing Documents of any Filing Shareholder to any other Filing Shareholder without the disclosing Filing Shareholder’s prior written consent).

 

(f)                                   The Company hereby agrees and acknowledges the mutual intent and agreement of the Company and the Shareholders, and the reliance of the Shareholders in approving and entering into the Kuaidi Merger on the premise that, the Kuaidi Merger will result in the same capital gain tax treatment for or with respect to (i) the Preferred Shares received by the Didi Investors in the Kuaidi Merger and the legal and/or Beneficial Owners thereof, and the preferred shares of the Company held by the Didi Investors immediately prior to the Kuaidi Merger Effective Date and the legal and/or Beneficial Owners thereof (the “Didi  Share Group”), on the one hand, and (ii) the Shares received by the Kuaidi Investors in the Kuaidi Merger and the legal and/or Beneficial Owners thereof, and the shares of Kuaidi held by the Kuaidi Investors immediately prior to the Kuaidi Merger Effective Date and the legal and/or Beneficial Owners thereof (the “Kuaidi Share Group”), and in furtherance of the foregoing principle, the Company shall indemnify the Didi Investors or the Kuaidi Investors, as applicable, to the extent that either the Didi Share Group or the Kuaidi Share Group, as applicable, incurs or suffers a disproportionate and adverse capital gain tax treatment as a result of the Kuaidi Merger; provided that the Company’s aggregate payment obligation to the Investors pursuant to the foregoing clause shall not exceed US$50 million. The Company hereby agrees that it shall take any and all actions necessary to ensure that the Kuaidi Merger will not result in any disproportionate and adverse capital gain tax treatment for the Didi Share Group or Kuaidi Share Group, each as a group, including vigorously defending against and/or appealing any determination, ruling or assessment by any PRC tax authority that would reasonably be expected to result in a disproportionate and adverse capital gain tax treatment for or with respect to the Didi Share Group or the Kuaidi Share Group, as applicable, as a result of the Kuaidi Merger. In addition, the Company shall not, and shall ensure that the Filing Agent shall not, on behalf of the Company, any Filing Shareholder or any other Shareholder, (A) take any position with any PRC tax authority (whether as part of any Filing Documents, pursuant to separate communications with any PRC tax authority or in connection with any tax proceeding or tax claim involving any PRC tax authority), or (B) take any other action, including any restructuring, transfer or other actions on behalf of or involving any Group Company following the Kuaidi Merger Effective Date, in any case with respect to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), that would be inconsistent with, or would reasonably be expected to prejudice, the equal capital gain tax treatment of the Didi Share Group and the Kuaidi Share Group as a result of the Kuaidi Merger, or would reasonably be expected to result in a disproportionate and adverse capital gain tax treatment for or with respect to the Didi Share Group or the Kuaidi Share Group, as applicable, as a result of the Kuaidi Merger.

(g)                                  In the event that one or more of the Filing Shareholders are required by the relevant PRC tax authority to pay capital gain tax as a result of the Kuaidi Merger (the “Transaction Tax”), within thirty (30) days following the request of any such Filing Shareholders, the Company shall set up an interest-free loan program (the “Tax Loan Program”) pursuant to which the Company will extend unsecured, 4-year term, interest-free loans (the “Tax Loans”) to any Filing Shareholders who are required by the relevant PRC tax authority to pay the Transaction Tax. Each Tax Loan made to any Filing Shareholder shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of Transaction Tax payable by such Filing Shareholder (evidenced by an assessment notice or payment notice issued by the relevant PRC tax authority), subject to a maximum aggregate principal amount of all such Tax Loans of US$75 million (the “Aggregate Principal Amount”). Each Filing Shareholder shall submit an application for the Tax Loans in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, setting out (i) the amount of Tax Loan it intends to borrow, and (ii) its commitment to repay the Tax Loan pursuant to Section 11.17(i) below. If permitted by the relevant PRC tax authority, the Company shall disburse the Tax Loan, and the Filing Shareholder agrees that the Tax Loan shall be disbursed by the Company, directly to a bank account designated by the relevant PRC tax authority on or prior to the due date for payment of the Transaction Tax (it being agreed that the Tax Loans shall be deemed to have been disbursed to the Filing Shareholder once the Tax Loan is disbursed by the Company to such bank account). If such direct payment is not permitted by the relevant PRC tax authority, the Company shall disburse, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date for payment of the Transaction Tax, the Tax Loan directly to a bank account of the Filing Shareholder designated in a written notice provided by such Filing Shareholder to the Company, and upon receipt of such Tax Loan, such Filing Shareholder shall (A) utilize the proceeds of such Tax Loan to pay the Transaction Tax to the relevant PRC tax authority on or prior to the due date for payment of the Transaction Tax and (B) provide evidence of such payment to the Company. The Company agrees that the date on which any Tax Loan is disbursed is the “Disbursement Date” for such Tax Loan.

 

(h)                                 In the event that it is determined that the Aggregate Principal Amount is insufficient to settle the aggregate amount of all Transaction Tax payable by all of the Filing Shareholders required to pay such Transaction Tax, following such determination date, the Company shall not be required to extend a Tax Loan to any Filing Shareholder under the Tax Loan Program in a principal amount which exceeds the product of (i) the Aggregate Principal Amount and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Transaction Tax payable by such Filing Shareholder and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Transaction Tax payable by all the Filing Shareholders.

 

(i)                                     Each of the Filing Shareholders agrees that it shall immediately repay or cause to be repaid its Tax Loan upon the occurrence of the earlier of (i) three (3) months after the date on which any lock-up restriction applicable to such Filing Shareholder in connection with a Qualified IPO expires, or in the absence of such lock-up restriction, nine (9) months after the date of completion of a Qualified IPO, (ii) a Disposal, (iii) the fourth anniversary of the Disbursement Date of its Tax Loan, (iv) liquidation, winding-up or bankruptcy of the Filing Shareholder, and (v) a Change of Control Event of the Filing Shareholder. For the purposes of this Section 11.17, a “Disposal” means a direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or disposal of all or any part of the Equity Interests held by the Filing Shareholders in the Company as at the Kuaidi Merger Effective Date, provided that the cash proceeds derived from such Disposal exceeds the principal amount of the Tax Loan. For the purposes of this Section 11.17, a “Change of Control Event” means (i) any consolidation, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement or merger of the Filing Shareholder as a result of which the Beneficial Owners of the Filing Shareholder immediately prior to such event ceasing to own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Filing Shareholder or (ii) a sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Filing Shareholder.

Any notice required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be given either personally or by sending it by next-day or second-day courier service, fax, electronic mail or similar means to the address of the relevant Party as shown on Schedule C (or at such other address as such Party may designate by fifteen (15) days’ advance written notice to the other Parties to this Agreement given in accordance with this Section).

The exercise or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy will neither constitute the exclusive election thereof nor the waiver of any other right, power or remedy available to such Party. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree irreparable harm may occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

Any provision in this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only by the written consent of each of (i) the Majority Preferred Holders, (ii) each of the Strategic Investors, (iii) the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Ordinary Shares (which excludes any Ordinary Shares converted from the Preferred Shares, and which must include the Didi Principal Holding Company) who are or whose Beneficial Owners are members of senior management of the Group Company, and (iv)the Company, provided, however, if (x) any amendment to this Agreement or waiver will not disproportionately and adversely affect the rights of any Investor whose written consent to the amendment or waiver is not obtained and (y) such amendment has been duly approved by the Shareholders or/and the Board in accordance with Sections 10.1 or/and 10.2, then such amendment to this Agreement or waiver shall only require the written consent of (A) the Majority Preferred Holders, (B) the holders of the majority of the Ordinary Shares (excluding any Ordinary Shares converted from the Preferred Shares), and (C) the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing sentence shall prejudice the requirements under Section 10.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Apple owns at least 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares (on a fully diluted basis, including Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis, assuming full conversion and exercise of all outstanding options and other outstanding convertible and exercisable securities and as adjusted in connection with share splits or share consolidation, reclassification or other similar event), the prior written consent of Apple shall be required with respect to (i) any amendment to the rights, preferences or privileges of any holder of Series A-18 Preferred Shares in this Agreement, or (ii) any amendment to, or waiver of observance of, any provision in this Agreement that would disproportionately and adversely affect the rights, preferences or privileges of Apple in this Agreement. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon all the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by an instrument in writing signed by such Party without obtaining the consent of any other Party.
