(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and without limiting any of the other restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Agreement, no Transfer of any Shares shall be effective unless the transferee is or becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall not, during the term of this Agreement, issue any Shares unless the individual, firm, corporation, partnership, association, limited liability company, trust or any other entity (collectively, a “Person”) to which such Shares are to be issued is or becomes a party to this Agreement.

 

(d)For purposes of this Agreement, “Transfer” shall mean any sale, assignment, encumbrance, hypothecation, pledge, conveyance in trust, gift, transfer by bequest, devise or descent, or other transfer or disposition of any kind, including, but not limited to, transfers to receivers, levying creditors, trustees or receivers in bankruptcy proceedings or general assignees for the benefit of creditors, whether voluntary or by operation of law, directly or indirectly, of any of the Shares.

 

2.Right of First Refusal.

 

(a)Grant and First Transfer Notice. Other than with respect to a Permitted Transfer, if any Key Holder proposes to Transfer any Shares (“Proposing Holder”), the Proposing Holder shall promptly give written notice (each a “First Transfer Notice”) to the Company at least forty-five (45) days prior to the closing of such Transfer. The First Transfer Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed Transfer, including, without limitation, the number of Shares to be transferred, the nature of such Transfer, the consideration to be paid, and the name and address of each prospective purchaser or transferee.

 

(b)Company Right of First Refusal. For a period of ten (10) days following receipt of any First Transfer Notice, subject to the laws of the British Virgin Islands and the provisions of the memorandum and articles of associations of the Company, the Company shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of the Shares subject to such First Transfer Notice on the same terms and conditions as set forth therein. The Company may exercise such purchase right by written notice signed by an officer of the Company and delivered to the Proposing Holder within such ten (10) day period. The Company shall effect the purchase of the Shares, including payment of the purchase price, by the later of (i) the date specified in the First Transfer Notice as the intended date of the Transfer, or (ii) thirty (30) days after delivery of the First Transfer Notice, and at such time the Proposing Holder shall deliver to the Company the certificate(s) representing the Shares to be purchased by the Company, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by a properly executed and authenticated assignment separate from certificate. The Shares so purchased shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to be issued and outstanding. The Company shall not purchase any of its Shares if, as a result of the purchase, there would no longer be any issued Shares of the Company other than Shares held as treasury shares or if the Company does not immediately after the purchase, satisfy the solvency test under the BVI Business Companies Act (as amended).

(c)MPU Secondary Right of First Refusal. In the event that the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Shares available pursuant to its rights under Section 2(b) within the period set forth therein, the Proposing Holder shall promptly give written notice (the “Second Transfer Notice”) to MPU, which shall set forth the number of Shares not purchased by the Company and shall be accompanied by a copy of the related First Transfer Notice. MPU shall then have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Proposing Holder within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Second Transfer Notice, to purchase some or all of the Shares subject to the Second Transfer Notice on the same terms and conditions as set forth therein. MPU, upon exercise of its rights, shall effect the purchase of the Shares, including payment of the purchase price, by the later of (i) the date specified in the First Transfer Notice as the intended date of the Transfer and (ii) thirty (30) days after delivery of the Second Transfer Notice, and at such time the Proposing Holder shall deliver to MPU the certificate(s) representing the Shares to be purchased by MPU, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by a properly executed and authenticated assignment separate from certificate. Failure by MPU to give such written notice within the time period specified in this Section, shall constitute an irrevocable waiver by MPU of its Secondary Right of First Refusal under this Section.

 

(d)Exempt Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein and for purposes of clarity, the provisions of Section 2 shall not apply to the sale of Shares by any Shareholders other than Key Holder.

 

3.Co-Sale Right.

 

(a)Participation. In the event that, after the exercise or waiver of any applicable rights pursuant to Section 2, there is a proposed Transfer of any Shares by the Proposing Holder (“Proposed Sale”) to an independent third party (a “Proposed Transferee”), MPU shall be permitted to participate in such sale (a “Co-Sale”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

 

(b)Sale Notice. Prior to the consummation of the Proposed Sale described in Section 3(a), the Proposing Holder shall deliver to the Company and to MPU a written notice (a “Sale Notice”) of the proposed sale subject to this Section 3, which shall be delivered no more than ten (10) days after the execution and delivery by all the parties thereto of the definitive agreement entered into with respect to the Co-Sale and, in any event, no later than twenty (20) days prior to the closing date of the Co-Sale.

(c)Shares to be Sold.

 

(1)MPU may exercise its right to participate in a Proposed Sale subject to this Section 3 by delivering to the Proposing Holder a written notice (a “Co-Sale Notice”) stating its election to do so and specifying the number of Shares to be sold by it no later than five (5) days after receipt of the Sale Notice (the “Co-Sale Period”). The offer of MPU set forth in a Co-Sale Notice shall be irrevocable (unless the relevant sale does not complete), and, to the extent such offer is accepted, MPU shall be bound and obligated to sell in the proposed sale on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3. MPU shall have the right to sell in a sale subject to this Section 3 the number of Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Shares to be sold by the Proposing Holder MPU by (y) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the number of Shares held by MPU and (B) denominator of which is equal to the number of Shares of then owned by MPU and the Proposing Holder. Failure by MPU to give such notice within the abovementioned five (5) days period shall constitute an irrevocable waiver by MPU of its Co-Sale right under this Section.

 

(2)The Proposing Holder shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in the proposed sale to the Proposed Transferee all of the Shares that MPU has requested to have included pursuant to the applicable Co-Sale Notice, it being understood that the Proposed Transferee shall not be required to purchase Shares in excess of the number set forth in the Sale Notice. In the event the Proposed Transferee elects to purchase less than all of the Shares sought to be sold by MPU, the number of Shares to be sold to the Proposed Transferee by the Proposing Holder and MPU shall be reduced so that the Proposing Holder and MPU is entitled to sell its pro rata portion of the number of Shares the Proposed Transferee elects to purchase.

 

If MPU does not deliver a Co-Sale Notice in compliance with Section 3(c) shall be deemed to have waived all of such Co-Sale rights to participate in such sale, and Proposing Holder thereafter shall be free to sell to the Proposed Transferee its Shares at a per share price that is no greater than the per share price set forth in the Sale Notice and on terms and conditions that are not materially more favorable than those set forth in the Sale Notice, without any further obligation to MPU.

 

(d)Conditions of Sale. MPU shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Proposing Holder makes or provides in connection with the Proposed Sale (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the Proposing Holder, MPU shall make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to itself); provided, however, that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by the Proposing Holder and MPU severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation in respect of breaches of representations and warranties that do not relate to MPU shall be in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by such MPU in connection with any sale consummated pursuant to this Section 3.

 

(e)Cooperation. MPU shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Co-Sale, including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case, consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by the Proposing Holder.

 

(f)Deadline for Completion of Sale. The Proposed Holder shall have ninety (90) days following the expiration of the Co-Sale Period in which to sell the Shares described in the Sale Notice, on terms not more favorable to the Proposing Holder than those set forth in the Sale Notice. If at the end of such period the Proposing Holder have not completed such sale, the Proposing Holder may not then affect a sale of Shares subject to this Section 3 without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 3.

(g)Sales in Violation of the Co-Sale Right. If any Proposing Holder sells or otherwise transfers to the Proposed Transferee any Shares in breach of this Section 3, then MPU shall have the right to sell to the breaching Proposing Holder, and the breaching Proposing Holder will undertake to purchase from MPU, the number of Shares that MPU would have had the right to sell to the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 3, for a per share amount and form of consideration and upon the term and conditions on which the Proposed Transferee bought such Shares from the breaching Proposing Holder, but without indemnity being granted by MPU to the Proposing Holder; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 3 shall preclude any MPU from seeking alternative remedies against the Proposing Holder as a result of its breach of this Section 3. The breaching Proposing Holder shall also reimburse MPU for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of MPU’s rights under this Section 3(g).

 

(h)Exempted Sales. This Section 3 shall not apply to the sale of any Shares to the public in an offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (a “Public Offering”). This Section 3 shall not apply to MPU.

Failure by MPU to give such notice within the abovementioned twenty (20) days period shall constitute an irrevocable waiver by MPU of its right of first offer with respect to such New Securities.

 

(3)If all New Securities referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 4(a)(2), the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the periods provided in Section 4(a)(2), offer and sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any Person at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered or sold unless first reoffered to the Shareholders in accordance with this Section 4(a).
