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 underwriting 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) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the 

 

9











 

underwriting shall be reduced as required by the underwriter(s) and allocated among the Holders of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by each Holder requesting registration (including the Initiating Holders); provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration including, without limitation, all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person, including, without limitation,  any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; provided further, that at least twenty-five percent (25)% of shares of Registrable Securities requested by the Holders to be included in such underwriting and registration shall be so included. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.

 

(c)                                     Deferral.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting registration pursuant to this Section 2.3, a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed at such time, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; provided further, that the Company shall not register any other of its shares during such twelve (12) month period. A demand right shall not be deemed to have been exercised until such deferred registration shall have been effected.

 

2.4                               Piggyback Registrations.

 

(a)                                    The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization), and shall afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder.  Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

(b)                                    Underwriting.  If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 2.4 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder’s 

 

10











 

Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to Section 4, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company, second, to each of the holders of Series Seed-C Preferred Shares requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of shares of Registrable Securities then held by each such holder, third, to each of the holders of Series Seed-B Preferred Shares requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of shares of Registrable Securities then held by each such holder, and fourth, to each of the holders of Series Seed-A Preferred Shares requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of shares of Registrable Securities then held by each such holder, and fifth, to holders of other securities of the Company; provided, however, that the right of the underwriter(s) to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate number of shares of Registrable Securities for which inclusion has been requested; and (ii) all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person, including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.

 

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

 

2.5                               Form F-3.  In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of 20% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company will:

 

(a)                                    Notice.  Promptly give written notice of the proposed registration and the Holder’s or Holders’ request therefor, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and

 

(b)                                    Registration.  As soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders or Holders’ Registrable 

 

11











 

Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within twenty (20) days after the Company provides the notice contemplated by Section 2.5(a); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.5:

 

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

 

(ii)          if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than US$200,000,000;

 

(iii)         if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form F-3 registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form F-3 registration statement no more than once during any twelve (12) month period for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.5; provided that the Company shall not register any of its other shares during such ninety (90) day period;

 

(iv)         if the Company has, within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration under the Securities Act other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Holders requested be included in such registration) pursuant to the provisions of Sections 2.3(b) and 2.4(a); or

 

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

 

Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form F-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders.

 

(c)                                     Not Demand Registration.  Form F-3 registrations shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 2.3 above. Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.5.

 

2.6                               Expenses.  All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 (but excluding Selling Expenses) shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all Selling Expenses or other amounts payable to underwriter(s) or brokers, in connection with such offering by the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.3 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered, unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable 

 

12











 

Securities then outstanding agree that such registration constitutes the use by the Holders of one (1) demand registration pursuant to Section 2.3; provided further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company not known to the Holders at the time of their request for such registration and have withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.3.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

13











 

(f)                                      Notification.  Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of (i) the issuance of any stop order by the SEC in respect of such registration statement, or (ii) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

14











 

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

 

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

 

(b)                                    By Selling Holders.  To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, directors, officers, legal counsel or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, legal counsel, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other United States federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.9(b) exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which the applicable Violation arises.

 

(c)                                     Notice.  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, 

 

15











 

and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any  such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.9 to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.9.

 

(d)                                    Contribution.  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.9 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.9 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any indemnified party in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.9; then, and in each such case, the indemnified party and the indemnifying party will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that a Holder (together with its related persons) is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by and sold under such registration statement, and the Company and other selling Holders are responsible for the remaining portion.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case: (A) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds to such Holder from the sale of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(e)                                     Survival; Consents to Judgments and Settlements.  The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement, regardless of the expiration of any statutes of limitation or extensions of such statutes.  No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

16











 

2.10                        Termination of the Company’s Obligations.  The registration rights under this Section 2 shall terminate upon the earlier of: (i) the date that is five (5) years following the consummation of the Qualified IPO, or, (ii) as to any Holder, when all Registrable Securities held by such Holder (together with any affiliate of such Holder with whom such Holder must aggregate its sales under SEC Rule 144) could be sold without restriction under SEC Rule 144(b)(1) within a ninety (90) day period.

 

2.11                        No Registration Rights to Third Parties.  Without the prior written consents of Series Seed-A Majority and (x) for so long as Xiaomi Ventures continues to hold more than 7,325,557 Series Seed-B Preferred Shares (on an as-converted basis and as adjusted for share dividends, splits, combinations, recapitalizations or similar events and are otherwise provided herein), Xiaomi Ventures, or (y) in the instance that Xiaomi Ventures holds 7,325,557 Series Seed-B Preferred Shares or less (on an as-converted basis and as adjusted for share dividends, splits, combinations, recapitalizations or similar events and are otherwise provided herein), the Series Seed-B Majority and the Series Seed-C Majority, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any person or entity any registration rights of any kind (whether similar to the demand, “piggyback” or Form F-3 registration rights described in this Section 2, or otherwise) relating to any securities of the Company which are senior to, or on a parity with, those granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities.

 

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

 

(a)                                    Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

 

(b)                                    File with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

 

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

 

2.13                        Market Stand-Off.  Each party agrees that, so long as it holds any voting securities of the Company, upon request by the Company or the underwriters managing the initial public offering of the Company’s securities, it will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any securities of the Company (other than those permitted to be included in the 

 

17











 

registration and other transfers to affiliates permitted by law) without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for a period of time specified by the representative of the underwriters not to exceed 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement covering such initial public offering or the pricing date of such offering as may be requested by the underwriters.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all steps to shorten such lock-up period. The foregoing provision of this Section 2.13 shall not apply to the sale of any securities of the Company to an underwriter pursuant to any underwriting agreement, and shall only be applicable to the Holders if all other shareholders of the Company enter into similar agreements, and if the Company or any underwriter releases any other shareholder from his, her or its sale restrictions so undertaken, then each Holder shall be notified prior to such release and shall itself be simultaneously released to the same proportional extent. The Company shall require all future acquirers of the Company’s securities to execute prior to a Qualified IPO a market stand-off agreement containing substantially similar provisions as those contained in this Section 2.13.

 

3.                                      RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION.

 

3.1                               General.  The holders of Preferred Shares and any holder of Preferred Shares to which rights under this Section 3 have been duly assigned in accordance with Section 7 (hereinafter referred to as a “Participation Rights Holder”) shall have the right of first refusal to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below), of all (or any part) of any New Securities (as defined in Section 3.3) that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement (the “Right of Participation”).

 

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

 

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

 

(a)                                    any Ordinary Shares (and/or options or warrants therefor) issued to employees, officers, directors, contractors, advisors or consultants of the Company pursuant to the Company’s employee share option plans (the “ESOP”) that shall be approved by the Board with the total number of 23,270,697 Ordinary Shares reserved thereunder (“ESOP Shares”), or pursuant to any amendment to the ESOP as approved by the Board (which shall include the affirmative votes of the Series Seed-A-2 Director, the Xiaomi Director and Series Seed-C Director);

 

(b)                                    any shares issued under the Purchase Agreement, as such agreement may be amended, and any Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the conversion thereof;

 

18









 

(c)                                     any securities issued in connection with any share split, share dividend or other similar event in which all Participation Rights Holders are entitled to participate on a pro rata basis;

 

(d)                                    any securities issued pursuant to a Qualified IPO;

 

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

 

(f)                                      any securities 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, which acquisition shall be as approved by the Board (which shall include the affirmative votes of the Series Seed-A-2 Director, the Xiaomi Director and Series Seed-C Director in accordance with this Agreement and the Restated Articles).

 

3.4                               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 Participation 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 Participation Rights Holder shall have twenty (20) business days from the date of receipt of any such First Participation Notice to agree in writing to purchase such Participation 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 Participation Rights Holder’s Pro Rata Share). If any Participation Rights Holder fails to so agree in writing within such twenty (20) business day period to purchase such Participation Rights Holder’s full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities, then such Participation Rights Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that it did not agree to purchase.

 

(b)                                    Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription.  If any Participating Rights Holder fails or declines to exercise its Right of Participation in accordance with subsection (a) above, the Company shall promptly give notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to other Participating Rights Holders who have exercised their Right of Participation (the “Right Participants”) in accordance with subsection (a) above. Each Right Participant, other than a Participating Rights Holder who fails or declines to exercise its Right of Participation in accordance with subsection (a) above, shall have five (5) 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 (the “Additional Number”). Such notice may be made by telephone if confirmed in writing within in two (2) business days. If, as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities available for purchase, each oversubscribing Right Participant will be cut back by the Company with respect to its oversubscription to that number of remaining New Securities equal to the lesser of (x) the Additional Number and (y) the product obtained by 

 

19











 

multiplying (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for subscription by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by such oversubscribing Right Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by all the oversubscribing Right Participants.  Each Right Participant shall be obligated to buy such number of New Securities as determined by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.4 and the Company shall so notify the Right Participants within fifteen (15) business days following the date of the Second Participation Notice.

 

3.5                               Failure to Exercise.  Upon the expiration of the Second Participation Period, or in the event no Participation Rights Holder exercises the Right of Participation within twenty (20) days following the issuance of the First Participation Notice, the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the New Securities described in the First Participation Notice (with respect to which the Right of Participation hereunder were not exercised) at the same or higher price and upon non-price terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than 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, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Participation Rights Holders pursuant to this Section 3.

 

3.6                               Termination.  The Right of Participation for each Participation Rights Holder shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the consummations of a Qualified IPO and (b) the consummation of a Liquidation Event (as defined in the Restated Articles).

 

4.                                      TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

 

4.1                               Certain Definitions.  For purposes of this Section 4, “Preferred Shareholder” means each of the holders of Preferred Shares and Ordinary Shares converted thereof and their permitted assignees to whom their rights under this Section 4 have been duly assigned in accordance with this Agreement; and “Ordinary Shareholder” means any holder of Ordinary Shares (other than the Ordinary Shares converted from Preferred Shares) of the Company.

 

4.2                               Sale of Shares; Notice of Sale.  Subject to Sections 4.5 and 4.7 of this Agreement, if any shareholder of the Company that is not a Series Seed-B Investor or a Series Seed-C Investor (the “Selling Shareholder”) proposes to sell or transfer any shares or securities of the Company held by him/it, then the Selling Shareholder shall promptly give written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to the Company and each other shareholder of the Company (collectively, the “Non-Selling Shareholders”) prior to such sale or transfer. The Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed sale or transfer including, without limitation, the number of the Company’s securities to be sold or transferred (the “Offered Shares”), the nature of such sale or transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee.

 

For avoidance of doubt, none of the transfer restrictions in Section 4.3 and 4.4 that apply to a Selling Shareholder shall apply to a holder of Series Seed-B or Series Seed-C Preferred Shares or Ordinary Shares converted thereof and their permitted assignees.

 

4.3                               Non-Selling Shareholder’s Right of First Refusal.

 

The Non-Selling Shareholders shall have an option for a period of thirty (30) 

 

20











 

days from receipt of the Transfer Notice to elect to purchase the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. The Non-Selling Shareholders may exercise such purchase option and purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares by notifying the Selling Shareholder in writing before expiration of such thirty (30) days period as to the number of shares that it wishes to purchase. Each Non-Selling Shareholder will have the right, by delivery of written notice (the “First Refusal Notice”) to the Selling Shareholder, the Company and each other Non-Selling Shareholder within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice (the “First Refusal Period”) of its election to exercise its right of first refusal hereunder. The Non-Selling Shareholder’s First Refusal Notice shall set forth the number of Offered Shares that such Non-Selling Shareholder wishes to purchase, which amount shall not exceed the First Refusal Allotment (as defined below) of such Non-Selling Shareholder. Such right of first refusal shall be exercised as follows:

 

(a)                                    First Refusal Allotment.  Each Non-Selling Shareholder shall have the right to purchase that number of the Offered Shares (the “First Refusal Allotment”) equivalent to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of the Offered Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) held by such Non-Selling Shareholder at the time of the transaction and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) owned by all Non-Selling Shareholders at the time of the transaction in the right of first refusal purchase. A Non-Selling Shareholder shall not have a right to purchase any of the Offered Shares unless it exercises its right of first refusal within the First Refusal Period to purchase up to all of its First Refusal Allotment of the Offered Shares. To the extent that any Non-Selling Shareholder does not exercise its right of first refusal to the full extent of its First Refusal Allotment, the Selling Shareholder and the exercising Non-Selling Shareholders shall, at the exercising Non-Selling Shareholders’ sole discretion, within five (5) days after the end of the First Refusal Period, make such adjustment to the First Refusal Allotment of each exercising Non-Selling Shareholder so that any additional Offered Shares may be allocated to those Non-Selling Shareholders exercising their rights of first refusal on a pro rata basis.

 

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

 

(c)                                     Purchase Price and Payment.  The purchase price for the Offered Shares to be purchased by the Non-Selling Shareholders exercising their right of first refusal will be the price set forth in the Transfer Notice, but will be payable as set forth below. If the purchase price in the Transfer Notice includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the Board in good faith, which determination will be binding upon the Company, the Non-Selling Shareholders, and the Selling Shareholder, absent fraud or error. Payment of the purchase price for the Offered Shares purchased by the Non-Selling Shareholders shall be made within ten (10) days following the date of the First Refusal Expiration Notice. Payment of the purchase price will be made by wire transfer or check as directed by the Selling Shareholder.

 

21











 

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

 

(e)                                     Application of Co-Sale Rights.  If the Non-Selling Shareholders have not elected to purchase all of the Offered Shares, then the sale of the remaining Offered Shares will become subject to the co-sale rights set forth in Section 4.4 below.

 

4.4                              Preferred Shareholders’ Co-Sale Right.

 

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

 

(a)                                         Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion.  Each Co-Sale Right Holder may sell all or any part of that number of Ordinary Shares held by it that is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of the remaining Offered Shares subject to the co-sale right hereunder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) owned by such Co-Sale Right Holder at the time of the sale or transfer and the denominator of which is the combined number of Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) at the time owned by all Co-Sale Right Holder who elect to exercise their co-sale rights (if any Co-Sale Right Holder does not elect to exercise the co-sale right to the full extent then its Ordinary Shares (on as-converted basis) for calculation in the denominator shall be proportionately reduced) and the Selling Shareholder (“Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion”).

 

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

 

(i)                                       the number of Ordinary Shares which such Co-Sale Right 

 

22











 

Holder elects to sell;

 

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

 

(iii)                            a combination of the above.

 

(c)                                          Payment to Co-Sale Right Holders.  The share certificate or certificates that the Co-Sale Right Holder delivers to the Selling Shareholder pursuant to Section 4.4(b) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser and the register of members of the Company shall be updated in consummation of the sale of the remaining Offered Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Selling Shareholder shall concurrently therewith remit to such Co-Sale Right Holder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co-Sale Right Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase any shares or other securities from a Co-Sale Right Holder exercising its co-sale right hereunder, the Selling Shareholder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Ordinary Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Selling Shareholder shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Co-Sale Right Holder.

 

(d)                                         Right to Transfer.  To the extent the Non-Selling Shareholders do not elect to purchase, and the Co-Sale Right Holder do not participate in the sale of, any or all of the Offered Shares subject to the Transfer Notice, the Selling Shareholder may, not later than ninety (90) days following delivery to the Company and each of the other shareholders of the Company of the Transfer Notice, conclude a transfer of the remaining Offered Shares covered by the Transfer Notice and not elected to be purchased by the Non-Selling Shareholders, which in each case shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as those described in the Transfer Notice. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions which are materially different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer of any shares by the Selling Shareholder, shall again be subject to the right of first refusal of the Non-Selling Shareholders and the co-sale right of the Co-Sale Right Holder and shall require compliance by the Selling Shareholder with the procedures described in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 of this Agreement.

 

4.5                               Permitted Transfers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the right of first refusal and co sale rights of the Non-Selling Shareholders or the Preferred Shareholders as set forth in the Section 4.3 and 4.4 above shall not apply to (a) any sale or transfer of Ordinary Shares to the Company pursuant to a repurchase right or right of first refusal held by the Company in the event of a termination of employment or consulting relationship, (b) any transfer of Ordinary Shares to any intermediary holding entity whose equity securities are 100% held by the Selling Shareholder, (c) any transfer to trusts for the benefit of such persons, of any holder of Ordinary Shares for bona fide estate planning purposes, (d) any sale or transfer of Ordinary Shares by the Founder Holdcos to any third party, provided that the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares sold or transferred pursuant to this subsection (d) shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the total issued share capital of the 

 

23











 

Company (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis), (e) any sale or transfer of Ordinary Shares between Founder Holdcos, or (f) any sale or transfer of Ordinary Shares from Founder Holdcos to a new founder and/or its holding entity, or to the Company for the purpose of issuance of Ordinary Shares to a new founder and/or its holding entity (each transferee pursuant to the foregoing subsections (a) to (f) is hereafter referred as a “Permitted Transferee”); provided further that adequate documentation in connection with the transactions under the foregoing subsections (a) to (f) is provided to the Preferred Shareholders to their reasonable satisfaction and that any such Permitted Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement in place of the relevant transferor.

 

4.6                               Prohibited Transfers.  Except for transfers by a holder of Ordinary Shares to its Permitted Transferees as provided in Section 4.5 above, none of the holders of Ordinary Shares or their Permitted Transferees shall, without the prior written consents of the Series Seed-A Majority, and (x) for so long as Xiaomi Ventures continues to hold more than 7,325,557 Series Seed-B Preferred Shares (on an as-converted basis and as adjusted for share dividends, splits, combinations, recapitalizations or similar events and are otherwise provided herein), Xiaomi Ventures, or (y) in the instance that Xiaomi Ventures holds 7,325,557 Series Seed-B Preferred Shares or less (on an as-converted basis and as adjusted for share dividends, splits, combinations, recapitalizations or similar events and are otherwise provided herein), the Series Seed-B Majority, or their permitted assigns, and Series Seed-C Majority, sell, assign, transfer (directly or indirectly), pledge, hypothecate, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose through one or a series of transactions any Company securities held by him to any person on or prior to a Qualified IPO. Any attempt by a party to sell or transfer Ordinary Shares in violation of this Section 4 shall be void and the Company hereby agrees it will not affect such a transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such shares without the written consent of the Preferred Shareholders or its permitted assigns.

 

4.7                               Exempted Transfers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Section 4.3 and 4.4 shall not apply to any proposed transfer of Preferred Shares and the Ordinary Shares converted from the Preferred Shares by the Preferred Shareholder to one or more of its affiliates, investment funds managed by the same management team of the Preferred Shareholder or any other persons or entities designated by the general partner of the Preferred Shareholder at such price, terms and conditions as may be agreed between the Preferred Shareholder and the transferee. Without the prior written consent of the Board, the Preferred Shareholders shall not transfer or dispose of any of its shares to a competitor of the Company as listed in Schedule 3 (the parties listed in Schedule 3, the “Competitors”) (the list of such Competitors may be reviewed and updated in good faith by the Board, which shall include the affirmative vote of the Xiaomi Director and the Series Seed-C Director, or to any third party acting on behalf of such Competitor.

 

4.8                               Restriction on Indirect Transfers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the prior written approval of the Series Seed-A Majority and (x) for so long as Xiaomi Ventures continues to hold more than 7,325,557 Series Seed-B Preferred Shares (on an as-converted basis and as adjusted for share dividends, splits, combinations, recapitalizations or similar events and are otherwise provided herein), Xiaomi Ventures, or (y) in the instance that Xiaomi Ventures holds 7,325,557 Series Seed-B Preferred Shares or less (on an as-converted basis and as adjusted for share dividends, splits, combinations, recapitalizations or similar events and are otherwise provided herein), the Series Seed-B Majority, and the Series Seed-C Majority, each Group Company shall not, and the Founders shall not cause any Group Company to, issue to any person any equity securities of such 

 

24











 

Group Company, or any options or warrants for, or any other securities exchangeable for or convertible into, such equity securities of such Group Company. In addition and for avoidance of doubt, none of the transfer restrictions in Section 4.3 and 4.4 shall be capable of being avoided by any indirect transfer of any shares or securities of the Company and any such action or transfer shall be treated as null and void and a breach of Section 4.3 and 4.4.

 

4.9                               Legend.

 

(a)                                    Each certificate representing the Ordinary Shares shall be endorsed with the following legend:

 

“THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE  COMPANY.”

 

(b)                                    Each party agrees that the Company may instruct its registered agent to impose transfer restrictions on the shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred to in Section 4.9(a) above to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the Company agrees to promptly do so. The legend shall be removed upon termination of the provisions of this Section 4.

 

4.10                        Restrictions on Transfer by Series Seed-B Investors and Series Seed-C Investors.

 

(a)                                    If any Series Seed-B Investor (the “Series Seed-B Transferor”) or any Series Seed-C Investor (the “Series Seed-C Transferor”, together with Series Seed-B Transferor, the “Special Transferor”) contemplates transferring any shares of the Company held by it, the Special Transferor shall give the Founders written notice of such Special Transferor’s intention to make the transfer (the “Special Transfer Notice”), which shall include the material terms and conditions for the proposed transfer, including without limitation, (a) a description of the number of shares to be transferred (the “Special Offered Shares”),  (b) the total consideration to be paid, and (c) the ultimate beneficiary and address of the prospective transferee, to the extent that such prospective transferee shall not be any applicable Competitor.

 

(b)                                    The Founders shall have the right, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Special Transfer Notice (the “Founder First Offer Period”), to elect to purchase all or any part of the Special Offered Shares under the same terms and conditions as provided in the Special Transfer Notice, with the allocation of Special Offered Shares to be purchased among the Founders to be agreed between the Founders, by notifying the Special Transferor in writing before expiration of the Founder First Offer Period as to the number of such Special Offered Shares that they wish to purchase.

 

(c)                                     In the event that the Founders and the Special Transferor agree on the material terms and conditions as provided in the Special Transfer Notice for the purchase of the Special Offered Shares within the Founder First Offer Period, the Special Transferor and the Founders will negotiate in good faith and reach in agreement on the necessary documentation within thirty days after the expiration of the Founder First Offer Period, 

 

25











 

and payment for the Special Offered Shares to be so purchased shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars, against delivery of certificate(s) for such Special Offered Shares to be purchased, at the time of the scheduled closing therefor.  The Company shall, and the parties hereto shall cause the Company to, update its register of members upon the consummation of any such transfer.

 

(d)                                    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if and to the extent the Founders and the Special Transferor cannot agree on the material terms and conditions as provided in the Special Transfer Notice for the purchase of the Special Offered Shares within the Founder First Offer Period in accordance with this Section 4.10, then the Special Transferor shall have a period of ninety (90) days from the expiration of the Founder First Offer Period to sell all or the remaining Special Offered Shares to the prospective transferee as provided in the Special Transfer Notice, which in each case shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as those described in the Special Transfer Notice, so long as any such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable Laws.  The parties hereto agree that each such transferee, prior to and as a condition to the consummation of any sale, shall execute and deliver to the parties hereto documents and other instruments assuming the obligations of such Special Transferor under this Agreement with respect to the Special Offered Shares that such transferee will purchase.

In the event less than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be promptly issued representing the unredeemed shares. Unless there has been a default in payment of the applicable Redemption Price, upon cancellation of the certificate representing such Preferred Shares to be redeemed, all dividends on such Preferred Shares designated for redemption on the relevant Redemption Date shall cease to accrue and all rights of the holders thereof, except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof (including all accrued and unpaid dividend up to the relevant redemption date), shall cease and terminate and such Preferred Shares shall cease to be issued shares of the Company. If the Company fails to redeem any Preferred Shares for which redemption is requested, then during the period from the Redemption Date through the date on which such Preferred Shares are actually redeemed and the Redemption Price is actually made, in full, such Preferred Shares shall continue to be

 

30











 

outstanding and be entitled to all rights and preferences of Preferred Shares. After payment in full of the aggregate Redemption Price for all issued and outstanding Preferred Shares, all rights of the holders thereof as shareholders of the Company shall cease and terminate and such Preferred Shares shall be cancelled.

 

6.5                               Restriction on Distribution.

6.6                               To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall procure that the profits of each subsidiary and affiliate of the Company for the time being legally available for distribution shall be paid to it by way of dividend or otherwise if and to the extent that, but for such payment, the Company would not itself otherwise have sufficient profits available for distribution to make any redemption of Preferred Shares required to be made pursuant to this Section 6.

 

6.7                               The redemption right of the holders of Preferred Shares as set forth in this Section 6 shall terminate upon the closing of a qualified public offering of the shares of Pintec Holdings Limited, an exempted company with limited liability organized and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, or its affiliate, with an implied valuation prior to such offering of at least US$1,023,947,530.

10.1                        Tax Indemnification. Subject to Section 10.2 below, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Investor from and against any additional tax (“Additional Tax”), levied on such Investor by the relevant PRC tax authorities in connection with such Investor’s sale of all or part of its respective Preferred Shares or any other shares of the Company converted therefrom (“Sold Shares”) that is considered by relevant PRC tax authorities as a kind of indirectly sale of the equity interest of the PRC Subsidiaries under the Circular of the State Administration of Taxation on Several Issues Concerning the Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Property Transfer by Non-Resident Enterprises (the “Circular 7”), which Additional Tax was the result of the tax base for such sale of Sold Shares determined by the relevant PRC tax authorities being less than such Investor’s applicable Deemed Investment Amount (as defined below) of such Sold Shares due to the restructuring steps as set forth in the Restructuring Plan approved by the shareholders and the board of directors of Pintec Holdings Limited on December 1, 2017. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate amount of such tax indemnification liabilities of the Company to any Investor with respect to the sale of the Sold Shares shall not exceed the amount determined as set forth below:

 

The maximum amount of such liabilities of the Company to any Investor with respect to the sale of the Sold Shares = (the applicable Deemed Investment Amount of such Investor with respect to such Sold Shares - the tax base for the sale of the Sold Shares determined by the relevant PRC tax authorities) * the applicable tax rate

 

For the purpose of this Agreement, the applicable “Deemed Investment Amount” for any Investor with respect to the sale of the Sold Shares means the product obtained by multiplying the number of the Sold Shares (calculated respectively for each class or series of the Sold Shares) by the applicable Preferred Share Deemed Issue Price (as defined in the Restated Articles) of such Sold Shares.

 

10.2                        Limitations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the tax indemnification liabilities undertaken by the Company is subject to the following limitations:

 

(a)                                    The Company shall not undertake any liability for taxes or any fees, penalties, losses or interest, etc. attributable to any Investor’s failure to duly file the required tax returns and pay all due taxes except the occurrence of any fees, penalties, losses or interest, etc. was due to the failure of the Group Companies or the Founders to provide necessary assistance with respect to such filing or payment of taxes.

 

(b)                                    In the event that the tax base for the sale of the Sold Shares held by such Investor determined by the relevant PRC tax authorities is calculated based on the paid-in capital of the wholly foreign owned enterprise(s) organized under the laws of the PRC, which is(are) one-hundred percent owned by the Company, directly or in directly, and the sale percentage of the Investors in the Company, the Company shall not undertake any tax indemnification liabilities to such Investor.

(c)                                     In the event any Investor sells all or part of its shares in Pintec Holdings Limited after the sale of Sold Shares, and the tax base for such sale of shares in Pintec Holdings Limited determined by the relevant PRC tax authorities is higher than the applicable deemed investment amount of such Investor with respect to the shares (of Pintec Holdings Limited) sold (for the purpose of this Agreement, the applicable deemed investment amount of such Investor with respect to the shares (of Pintec Holdings Limited) sold means the product obtained by multiplying the number of the shares (of Pintec Holdings Limited) sold (calculated respectively for each class or series of shares) by the applicable deemed issue price of such shares in Pintec Holdings Limited), and, provided that the Company has performed the tax indemnification liabilities to such Investor as set forth in Section 10, the unpaid amount of tax resulting from such balance part of tax bases, specifically, the product obtained by multiplying the difference between tax base for such sale of shares determined by the relevant PRC tax authorities and the applicable deemed investment amount of such Investor with respect to the shares sold by the applicable tax rate (the “Unpaid Jimu Tax”), shall be paid back to the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any Investor sells its shares in Pintec Holdings Limited prior to the sale of Sold Shares, the maximum amount of the tax indemnification liabilities undertaken by the Company to such Investor under this Section 10 shall be reduced by the relevant Unpaid Jimu Tax which is not paid to the Company.

 

(d)                                    The Company’s indemnification obligation under this Section 10 shall terminate upon the consummation of a Qualified IPO.
