 EXECUTION
VERSION

     2.1 If, at the sole discretion of the Company and the underwriters to the Company’s IPO, it is
decided to enable any shareholders of the Company to sell shares in the course of the IPO
(including in the course of the offering and/or any over allotment option), or, if the Company at
any time after the closing of the IPO proposes to register any of its securities for its own
account or for the account of any shareholders of the Company, other than in a registration under
Section 3 of this Agreement or a registration relating solely to an employee and/or consultant
and/or directors benefit and/or stock incentive plan, it shall give notice to the Holders of such
intention. Upon the written request of any Holder, given within twenty (20) days after receipt of
any such notice, the Company shall include in such registration all of the Registrable Securities
indicated in such request.



     2.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the managing underwriter advises
the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then each Holder that is not a member of the IDB Group (“Non-IDB Holder”)
wishing to participate in such registration shall be entitled to include in such registration (A)
as long as such Non-IDB Holder holds more than twenty percent (20%) of the number of Registrable
Securities held by such Non-IDB Holder on the date it first became a party to this Agreement (the
“Original Holding”), a number of Registrable Securities, calculated by multiplying (x) the
aggregate number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration, by (y) a percentage
that is equal to twice the percentage holding of Registrable Securities of such Non-IDB Holder, out
of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by all Holders wishing to
participate in such registration (including members of the IDB Group), and (B) as long as such
Non-IDB Holder holds less than twenty percent (20%) of its Original Holding, a number of
Registrable Securities, calculated by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Registrable
Securities to be included in such registration, by (y) a percentage that is equal to the percentage
holding of Registrable Securities of such Non-IDB Holder, out of the aggregate number of
Registrable Securities then outstanding held by all Holders wishing to participate in such
registration (including members of the IDB Group). All the Holders who are members of the IDB Group
wishing to participate in such registration will include in such registration a number of shares
equal to the aggregate number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration minus
all the Non-IDB Holders participation calculated as above (to be allocated pro rata among such IDB
Group Holders), provided, however, that all Registrable Securities must be included in such
registration prior to any other securities of the Company (with the exception of securities to be
issued by the Company to the public).



3. Demand Registration.




     3.1 At any time commencing eighteen (18) months following the closing of the IPO, an
Initiating Holder may request in writing that all or part of the Registrable Securities Held by
such Initiating Holder shall be registered for trading either on the securities exchange in the
United States on which the IPO took place (in which case by use of Form F-3 if such form is then
available to the Company), or, on any other

EXECUTION
VERSION


securities exchange on which the shares of the Company are then registered for trade. Any such
demand must request the registration of Ordinary Shares Held by the Initiating Holder in a minimum
of three percent (3%) of the then outstanding share capital of the Company. Within twenty (20) days
after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of such request to the
other Holders and shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities held by all such
Holders who wish to participate in such demand registration and provide the Company with written
requests for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice.
Thereupon, the Company shall effect the registration of all Registrable Securities as to which it
has received requests for registration for trading on the securities exchange specified in the
Initiating Holder’s request for registration.



     3.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that in a registration
that is to be underwritten the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing
factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then each Non-IDB Holder
(including the Initiating Holder) wishing to participate in such registration shall be entitled to
include in such registration (A) as long as such Non-IDB Holder holds more than twenty percent
(20%) of its Original Holding, a number of Registrable Securities, calculated by multiplying (x)
the aggregate number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration, by (y) a
percentage that is equal to twice the percentage holding of Registrable Securities of such Non-IDB
Holder, out of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by all Holders
wishing to participate in such registration (including members of the IDB Group), and (B) as long
as such Non-IDB Holder holds less than twenty percent (20%) of its Original Holding, a number of
Registrable Securities, calculated by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Registrable
Securities to be included in such registration, by (y) a percentage that is equal to the percentage
holding of Registrable Securities of such Non-IDB Holder, out of the aggregate number of
Registrable Securities then outstanding held by all Holders wishing to participate in such
registration (including members of the IDB Group). All the Holders who are members of the IDB Group
(including the Initiating Holder, if applicable) wishing to participate in such registration will
include in such registration a number of shares equal to the aggregate number of Registrable
Securities to be included in such registration minus all the Non-IDB Holders participation
calculated as above (to be allocated pro rata among such IDB Group Holders).



     Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn
from the registration. The Company shall not register securities for sale for its own account in
any registration requested pursuant to this Section 3 unless permitted to do so by the written
consent of Holders who hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities as to which
registration has been requested. The Company may not cause any other registration of securities for
sale for its own account (other than a registration effected solely to implement an employee and/or
consultant and/or directors benefit and/or stock incentive plan) to be initiated after a
registration requested pursuant to Section 3 and to become effective less than one hundred twenty
(120) days after the effective date of any registration requested pursuant to Section 3.

 EXECUTION
VERSION

     3.3 The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 3: (i)
if it would result in effecting more than one (1) demand in any twelve (12) month period; or (ii)
if (a) in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, registration would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company concludes, as a
result, that it is essential to defer the filing of such registration statement at such time, and
(b) the Company shall have furnished to such Holders a certificate signed by the CEO of the Company
stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company for such registration statement to be filed in the near future
and that it is, therefore, essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, in which
case the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for the period during which such filing
would be seriously detrimental, provided, that the Company may not defer the filing for a period of
more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders.



     3.4 If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their
request to the public by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of
their request made pursuant to Section 3, and the Company shall so advise the Holders as part of
the notice given pursuant to Section 3. The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section
3 shall be conditional upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting arrangements required
by Section 3 and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless
otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder with
respect to such participation and inclusion) to the extent provided herein.



4. Designation of Underwriter.




     4.1 In the case of any registration effected pursuant to Section 3 and which is to be
underwritten, the Initiating Holders that submitted the request for registration shall have the
right to designate, upon consent of the Company, the managing underwriter(s) in any underwritten
offering, provided that the Company’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.



     4.2 In the case of any registration initiated by the Company, the Company shall have the right
to designate the managing underwriter in any underwritten offering.




	5.	 	Expenses. All expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred
in connection with any registration under Section 2 or 3 shall be borne by the Company
(including the reasonable fees and disbursements of one (1) counsel for the Holders);
provided, however, that each of the Holders participating in such registration shall pay its
pro rata portion of discounts or commissions payable to any underwriter.
	 
	6.	 	Indemnities. In the event of any registered offering of securities of the Company
pursuant to this Agreement:

     6.1 To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any Holder participating in the registration and any underwriter
for such Holder, and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such underwriter, from and
against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, joint or several, costs and expenses
(including any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the Company’s consent) to which such
Holder or any such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under applicable law or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages, claims, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in
respect thereof), costs or expenses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement or included
in the prospectus, as amended or supplemented, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading, and the Company will
reimburse such Holder, such underwriter and each such controlling person of the Holder or the
underwriter, promptly upon demand, for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a
third-party witness in connection with such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such loss, damage, liability, cost or expense arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity
with information furnished by such Holder, such underwriter or such controlling persons in writing
specifically for inclusion therein; provided, further, that this indemnity shall
not be deemed to relieve any underwriter of any of its due diligence obligations; provided,
further, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any prospectus
shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or underwriter, or any person controlling such Holder
or underwriter, from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if
the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or
on behalf of such Holder or underwriter to such person, if required by law so to have been
delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if
the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such
loss, claim, damage or liability, provided, further, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this subsection 6.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim,
loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder, the
underwriter or any controlling person of the selling Holder or the underwriter, and regardless of
any sale in connection with such offering by the Holder. Such indemnity shall survive the transfer
of securities by the Holder.



     6.2 To the extent permitted by law, each Holder participating in a registration hereunder will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each other Holder participating in such registration, any
underwriter for the Company or for any such other

Holder, each person, if any, who controls the Company or such underwriter or such other
Holder, from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses
(including any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the Holder’s consent) to which the
Company or any such controlling person and/or any such underwriter and/or such other Holder may
become subject under applicable law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages, claims,
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), costs or expenses arise out of or are
based on (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
registration statement or included in the prospectus, as amended or supplemented, or (ii) the
omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading, and each such Holder will reimburse the Company, each other Holder
participating in such registration, any underwriter and each such controlling person of the
Company, any underwriter or other Holder, promptly upon demand, for any reasonable legal or other
expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending
against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with such loss, claim, damage,
liability, action or proceeding; in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in strict
conformity with written information furnished by such Holder specifically for inclusion therein.
The foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any
such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) made in the
preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus at the time the
registration statement becomes effective or in the final prospectus, such indemnity agreement shall
not inure to the benefit of (i) the Company and (ii) any underwriter, if a copy of the final
prospectus was not furnished to the person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage
at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act; provided,
further, that this indemnity shall not be deemed to relieve any underwriter of any of its
due diligence obligations; provided, further, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this subsection 6.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim,
loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the
Holders, as the case may be, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld In no event shall the
liability of a Holder exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.



     6.3 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of subsections
6.1 or 6.2 of notice of the commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the
foregoing indemnity provisions, such indemnified party will, if a claim thereof is to be made
against the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of said Section 6.1 or 6.2, promptly
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 6,
except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, that
the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may
have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. In case such action is brought



7









 




EXECUTION
VERSION



against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent that it
may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided,
however, that if the defendants in any action include both the
indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and there is a conflict of interests which would prevent counsel for the
indemnifying party from also representing the indemnified party, the indemnified party or parties
shall have the right to select one separate counsel to participate in the defense of such action on
behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not
be liable to such indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of subsections 6.1 or 6.2 for any
legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in accordance with
the provision of the preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within
a reasonable time after the notice of the commencement of the action and within 15 days after
written notice of the indemnified party’s intention to employ separate counsel pursuant to the
previous sentence, or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the employment of
counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party
will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to
such indemnified party of a
release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation without receiving the prior
written consent of such indemnified party.



     6.4 If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions, for any
reason other than as specified therein, then an indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the selling Holders on the one hand and
the Company on the other hand from the offering of the Registrable Securities, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also
the relative fault of the selling Holders on the one hand and the Company on the other hand in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by the selling Holders on the one hand and the Company on the other hand shall be
deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering received by the selling
Holders bear to the total proceeds from the offering received by the Company. The relative fault of
the selling Holders on the one hand and the Company on the other hand shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the
selling Holders on the one

hand or by the Company on the other hand and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No selling Holder
shall be required to contribute an amount in excess of the total gross proceeds from the offering
of the Registrable Securities received by each selling Holder. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.


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

of the applicable stock market in the United States, the registration statement with respect to

the jurisdiction of the applicable stock market in the United States with respect to the
disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement.



     7.3 furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act or other applicable laws in
the jurisdiction of the applicable stock market in the United States, and such other documents as
they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned
by them.



     7.4 register and qualify the Registrable 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 in no event shall the Company be required to qualify to do
business in any state or other jurisdiction or to take any action which would subject it to general
or unlimited service of process in any such state or jurisdictions.



     7.5 in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.

time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, or
other applicable laws in the jurisdiction of the applicable stock market in the United States, of
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, and as promptly as possible thereafter
the Company shall promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a
supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus will not include an untrue statement of
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.



     7.7 cause all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on
each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.



     7.8 provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant
to this Agreement and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later
than the effective date of such registration.



     7.9 furnish, at the request of any Holder participating in a registration of Registrable
Securities pursuant to this Agreement, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered

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

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

of Registrable Securities.


9. 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 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 registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

10. Assignment of Registration Rights. Subject to the immediately following sentence, no
Shareholder shall assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
consent of the Company and the Company shall not assign or transfer its rights and obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding Notwithstanding the foregoing, any of the Holders may assign its rights
to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement (but only with
all related obligations) to a Permitted Transferee or to any other transferee of its Registrable
Securities, provided that the Registrable Securities are transferred by such Holder to such
Permitted Transferee or transferee and further provided, that such Permitted Transferee or
transferee shall only be assigned the rights pertaining to those Registrable Securities transferred
to it. Any such transferor shall, within twenty (20) days after such transfer, furnish the Company
with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or Permitted Transferee (as
applicable) and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned,
and the transferee’s written agreement to be bound by this Agreement.



11. Lock-Up. Each Holder hereby agrees that in addition to any lock up period imposed

prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the
final prospectus relating to the IPO or to any secondary offering by the Company and ending on the
date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred

applicable) (i) lend, offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase,
purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or

shares or any such securities are then owned by the Holder or are thereafter acquired), 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 shares of the Company, whether any such transaction described
in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of the Company or such other
securities, in cash or otherwise. The underwriters in connection with the IPO and any secondary
offering by the Company are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 11 and shall have
the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.
In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with
respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other
person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.



12. Public Information. At any time and from time to time after the earlier of the close
of business on such date as (a) a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities
Act becomes effective, (b) the Company registers a class of securities under Section 12 of the

registration rights senior to those of the Holders, with the prior written consent of the holders
of a majority of the Registrable Securities.



14. Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right
provided for in Sections 3-13, at such time at which all Registrable Securities held by such Holder

Securities Act.



15. Miscellaneous

Shareholder, shall require the written consent of such Shareholder unless such direct adverse
effect results from more senior rights being granted hereunder and the provisions of this Agreement
are modified to provide that such Shareholder will also benefit from such senior rights (it being
clarified that for the purpose hereof, the dilution of the rights of any Shareholder hereunder
resulting from additional Registrable Securities becoming subject to this Agreement, shall not be
considered a direct adverse effect on the rights of such Shareholder).
