     3.3. Right of Refusal. In the event that any of the Shareholders entertains a bona fide offer (a “Transaction Offer”) from any other Person (a “Buyer”) to purchase all or any portion of the Shares held by such Shareholder, such Shareholder (a “Transferring Shareholder”) may, subject to the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof, Transfer such Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 3.3:
          (a) Offer Notice. The Transferring Shareholder shall cause the Transaction Offer and all of the terms thereof to be reduced to writing and shall promptly notify the Company, each of the Investors and each Key Shareholder of such Transferring Shareholder’s desire to effect the Transaction Offer and otherwise comply with the provisions of this Section 3.3 and, if applicable, Section 3.4 (such notice, the “Offer Notice”). The Offer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer to sell all (or any portion) of the Shares which are the subject of the Transaction Offer (the “Offered Shares”) to the Investors and Key Shareholders (each, an “Eligible Shareholder”), on the basis described below, at a purchase price equal to the price contained in, and on the same terms and conditions as, the Transaction Offer. The Offer Notice shall be accompanied by a true copy of the Transaction Offer (which shall identify the Buyer and all relevant information in connection therewith).
          (b) Eligible Shareholders’ Option. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Eligible Shareholders of the Offer Notice (the “Eligible Shareholder Option Period”), each Eligible Shareholder or any of its Affiliates, may elect to accept the offer to purchase with respect to any or all of the Offered Shares and shall give written notice of such election (the “Eligible Shareholder Acceptance Notice”) to the Transferring Shareholder and each other Eligible Shareholder within the Eligible Shareholder Option Period, which notice shall indicate the maximum number of Offered Shares that the Eligible Shareholder is willing to purchase, including the number of Offered Shares it would purchase if one or more other Eligible Shareholders do not elect to purchase their Pro Rata Fractions (as defined in paragraph (c) below). An Eligible Shareholder Acceptance Notice shall constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale and purchase of the Offered Shares covered by such Eligible Shareholder Acceptance Notice. The closing for the purchase of Offered Shares by the Eligible Shareholders or any of their Affiliates under this Section 3.3(b) shall take place within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Eligible Shareholder Option Period at the offices of the Company or on such other date or at such other place as may be agreed to by the Transferring Shareholder and such Eligible Shareholders or Affiliates. The Transferring Shareholder shall notify the Eligible Shareholders promptly if any Eligible Shareholder or Affiliate fails to offer to purchase all of its Pro Rata Fraction (as defined below).

6


 

          (c) Allocation of Offered Shares among Eligible Shareholders. Upon the expiration of the Eligible Shareholder Option Period, the number of Offered Shares to be purchased by each Eligible Shareholder or any of its Affiliates shall be determined as follows: (i) first, there shall be allocated to each Eligible Shareholder electing to purchase a number of Offered Shares equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Offered Shares as to which such Eligible Shareholder accepted the offer to purchase, as set forth in its respective Eligible Shareholder Acceptance Notice and (B) such Eligible Shareholder’s Pro Rata Fraction (as defined below), and (ii) second, the balance, if any, not allocated under clause (i) above, shall be allocated to those Eligible Shareholders who within the Eligible Shareholder Option Period delivered an Eligible Shareholder Acceptance Notice that accepted the offer to purchase with respect to a number of Offered Shares that exceeded their respective Pro Rata Fractions, in each case on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of Shares held by each such Eligible Shareholder up to the amount of such excess. As used herein, an Eligible Shareholder’s “Pro Rata Fraction” shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the total number of Offered Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares owned by such Eligible Shareholder, and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares held by all Eligible Shareholders, in each case calculated as of the date of the Offer Notice.
          (d) Valuation of Property. If all or any portion of the purchase price set forth in the Offer Notice consists of consideration other than cash or cash equivalents, the Transferring Shareholder, the Company and a Majority Interest shall mutually determine the fair market value of such consideration, reasonably and in good faith, and the Eligible Shareholders may effect their purchase under this Section 3.3 by payment in cash or cash equivalents of the amount of such fair market value.
          (e) Sale to Third Party. If the Eligible Shareholders do not elect to exercise the rights to purchase under this Section 3.3 with respect to all of the Offered Shares proposed to be sold, the Transferring Shareholder may (i) revoke its Offer Notice and sell all the Offered Shares, or (ii) sell the remaining balance of such Offered Shares to the Buyer, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice, subject to the provisions of Section 3.4. If the Transferring Shareholder’s sale to a Buyer is not consummated in accordance with the terms of Section 3.4, the Transaction Offer shall be deemed to lapse, and any Transfers of Shares pursuant to such Transaction Offer shall be in violation of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Transferring Shareholder sends a new Offer Notice and once again complies with the provisions of this Section 3.3 with respect to such Transaction Offer.
     3.4. Co-Sale Option of Investors. If a Transferring Shareholder, provides an Offer Notice to sell the Offered Shares and the Eligible Stockholders do not elect to exercise the rights to purchase under Section 3.3 with respect to all of the Offered Shares proposed to be sold, the Transferring Shareholder may (i) revoke its Offer Notice and sell all the Offered Shares; or (ii) sell the remaining balance of such Offered Shares to the Buyer, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4 that are set forth below:
          (a) Co-Sale Notice. As soon as practicable following the expiration of the Eligible Shareholder Option Period, and in no event later than five (5) days thereafter, the Transferring Shareholder shall provide notice to each of the Eligible Shareholders (the “Co-Sale Notice”) of its right to participate in the Transaction Offer on a pro rata basis with the

7


 

Transferring Shareholder (the “Co-Sale Option”). To the extent one or more Eligible Shareholders exercise their Co-Sale Option in accordance with this Section 3.4, the number of Shares that the Transferring Shareholder may Transfer pursuant to the Transaction Offer shall be correspondingly reduced.
          (b) Eligible Shareholder Acceptance. Each of the Eligible Shareholders shall have the right to exercise its Co-Sale Option by giving written notice (the “Co-Sale Acceptance Notice”) to the Transferring Shareholder within ten (10) days after receipt by such Eligible Shareholder of the Co-Sale Notice (the “Co-Sale Election Period”). Each Co-Sale Acceptance Notice shall set forth the maximum number of Shares subject thereto which the Eligible Shareholder wishes to sell, including the number of Shares it would sell if one or more other Eligible Shareholders do not elect to participate in the sale on the terms and conditions stated in the Offer Notice. Any Eligible Shareholder holding Convertible Preferred Shares shall be permitted to sell to the relevant Buyer in connection with any exercise of the Co-Sale Option Ordinary Shares acquired upon conversion of such Convertible Preferred Shares.
          (c) Allocation of Shares. Each Eligible Shareholder shall have the right to sell pursuant to the Transaction Offer that portion of its Shares which is equal to or less than the product obtained by multiplying the total number of Shares available for sale to the Buyer subject to the Transaction Offer by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares owned by such Eligible Shareholder and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares held by all Eligible Shareholders and the Transferring Shareholder, in each case, as of the date of the Offer Notice, subject to increase as hereinafter provided. If any Eligible Shareholder does not elect to sell the full amount of such Shares which such Eligible Shareholder is entitled to sell pursuant to this Section 3.4, then any other Eligible Shareholders who have elected to sell Shares shall have the right to sell, on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Shares held by each such Eligible Shareholder) with any other Eligible Shareholders and up to the maximum number of Shares stated in each such Eligible Shareholder’s Co-Sale Acceptance Notice, any Shares not elected to be sold by such Eligible Shareholder.
          (d) Co-Sale Closing. Within ten (10) calendar days after the end of the Co-Sale Election Period, the Transferring Shareholder shall promptly notify each participating Eligible Shareholder of the number of Shares held by such Eligible Shareholder that will be included in the sale and the date on which the Transaction Offer will be consummated, which shall be no later than the later of (i) ninety (90) calendar days after the end of the Co-Sale Election Period and (ii) the date of the satisfaction of any governmental approval or filing requirements. Each participating Eligible Shareholder may effect its participation in any Transaction Offer hereunder by delivering to the Buyer, or to the Transferring Shareholder for delivery to the Buyer, one or more instruments or certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, representing the Shares it elects to sell pursuant thereto. At the time of consummation of the Transaction Offer, the Transferring Shareholder shall cause the Buyer to remit directly to each participating Eligible Shareholder that portion of the sale proceeds to which the participating Eligible Shareholder is entitled by reason of its participation in the Transaction Offer. No Shares may be purchased by the Buyer from the Transferring Shareholder unless the Buyer simultaneously purchases from the participating Eligible Shareholders all of the Shares that they have elected to sell pursuant to this Section 3.4.

8


 

          (e) Sale to Third Party. Any Shares held by a Transferring Shareholder that are the subject of a Transaction Offer and that the Transferring Shareholder desires to Transfer to a Buyer in compliance with this Section 3.4, may be sold to such Buyer only during the period specified in Section 3.4(d) and only on terms no more favorable to the Transferring Shareholder than those contained in the Offer Notice. Promptly after such Transfer, the Transferring Shareholder shall notify the Company and the Eligible Shareholders of the consummation thereof and shall furnish such evidence of the completion and time of completion of the Transfer and of the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Company. Prior to the effectiveness of any Transfer to a Buyer hereunder, such Buyer shall have entered into a Joinder Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. and such Buyer shall have all the rights and obligations hereunder as if such Buyer were a Shareholder. In the event that the Transaction Offer is not consummated within the period required by this Section 3.4 or the Buyer fails timely to remit to each participating Eligible Shareholder its respective portion of the sale proceeds, the Transaction Offer shall be deemed to lapse, and any Transfer of Shares pursuant to such Transaction Offer shall be in violation of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Transferring Shareholder sends a new Offer Notice with respect to such Offered Shares and once again complies with the provisions of Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 with respect to such Transaction Offer.
     3.5. Drag Along.
          (a) In the event of a Sale Event (as defined below), each Shareholder and Investor shall, upon the written request of a Majority Interest (i) sell, transfer and deliver, or cause to be sold, transferred and delivered, to the Third Party Buyer all of its Shares on the same terms applicable to the Majority Interest (with due reflection of the relative rights and preferences of the Shares as provided in the Articles), and/or (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other action, including voting such Shares in favor of any Sale Event proposed by the Majority Interest and executing any purchase agreements, merger agreements, indemnity agreements, escrow agreements or related documents, as such Majority Interest and the Third Party Buyer may reasonably require in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Section 3.5 (the “Drag-Along Right”).
          (b) For purposes of this Section 3.5:
     (i) a “Sale Event” shall mean a bona fide negotiated transaction with a third party in which the Majority Interest have determined (A)  to sell their Shares in a transaction that will result in a majority of the voting power of the Company immediately prior to such transaction being transferred to such third party, (B) to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (C) to cause the Company to merge with or into, or consolidate with, any non-Affiliate(s) of the Company; and
     (ii) A “Third Party Buyer” shall mean the buyer or buyers in Section 3.5(b)(i)(A) or (B), and the surviving entity in Section 3.5(b)(i)(C).
          (c) Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date proposed for the closing of any Sale Event, the Majority Interest shall give notice to each of the Shareholders setting forth in

9


 

reasonable detail the name or names of the Third Party Buyer, the terms and conditions of the Sale Event, including the purchase price, and the proposed closing date. In furtherance of the provisions of this Section 3.5, each of the Shareholders hereby (i) irrevocably appoints the designee of the Majority Interest as its agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Agent”) (with full power of substitution) to execute all agreements, instruments and certificates and take all actions necessary or desirable to effectuate any sale hereunder; and (ii) grants to the Agent a proxy to vote the shares held by the Shareholders in favor of any Sale Event hereunder.
     3.6. Tag Along Right of the Key Shareholders. In the event of a Sale Event, the holders of a majority of the Shares held by all Key Shareholders shall, in the event that a Majority Interest does not exercise the Drag-Along Right set forth in Section 3.5 above, have the right to require the Investors to include the Key Shareholders’ Shares in the Sale Event on the same terms and conditions, as the Shares held by the Investors (the “Tag-Along Right”); provided that the Key Shareholders undertake all obligations undertaken by the Investors in connection with such Sale Event, including without limitation, all indemnification and escrow obligations.

     4.5. Exceptions to Pre-Emptive Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights granted to Eligible Shareholders under this Section IV shall be inapplicable with respect to (i) the issuance of up to an aggregate of 143,013,000 Ordinary Shares or options therefore, or such other higher number approved by the Board (as appropriately adjusted for any share split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, share distribution, share dividend or similar event) issued or issuable in connection with, or upon the exercise of, options or other awards granted or to be granted to employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to the Company’s Share Option Plan, including Ordinary Shares issued in replacement of such Ordinary Share repurchased or issuable upon the exercise of any options to purchase such Ordinary Share, to the extent permitted under the Share Option Plan, (ii) securities issued as a result of any share split, share dividend, reclassification or reorganization or similar event with respect to the Shares, (iii) Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of, or as a dividend on, the Convertible Preferred Shares, (iv) Ordinary Shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), (v) securities issued in connection with the acquisition of another corporation, business entity or line of business of another business entity by the

     4.6. Assignment of Rights.

     5.8. Indemnification.
          (a) Subject to applicable law, without limitation of any other provision of this Agreement, the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its successors and assigns, agrees to defend, indemnify and hold each Investor, its respective Affiliates and direct and indirect partners (including partners of partners and Shareholders and members of partners), members, Shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls any of them within the meaning of Section 15 of the Unites States Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) or Section 20 of the United Stated Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended) (collectively, the “Investor Indemnified Parties” and, individually, an “Investor Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities, losses, taxes, fines, penalties, diminution in value, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of a single counsel representing all the Investor Indemnified Parties or, if the representations of all the Investor Identified Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, then as many counsel as may be needed under such standards of professional conduct to represent all of the Investor Indemnified Parties), as the same are incurred, of any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and including all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing and consequential damages) (“Losses”) sustained or suffered by any such Investor Indemnified Party, which may be based upon, relating to, arising out of, or by reason of any third party or governmental claims relating in any way to such Investor Indemnified Party’s status as a security holder, creditor, director, agent, representative or controlling person of the Company or otherwise relating to such Investor Indemnified Party’s involvement with the Company, including, without limitation, in connection with any third party or governmental action or claim relating to any action taken or omitted to be taken or alleged to have been taken or omitted to have been taken by any Investor Indemnified Party as security holder, director, agent, representative or controlling person of the Company or otherwise, alleging so-called control person liability or securities law liability; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to any Investor Indemnified Party to the extent that such Losses arise from and are based on (A) an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission in a registration statement or prospectus which is made in reliance on and in conformity with written information

14


 

furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor Indemnified Party, (B) conduct by such Investor Indemnified Party which is found to constitute fraud or willful misconduct in a non-appealable, final judgment, or (C) any claims by the Company or its Shareholders.
          (b) If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.8(a) above for any reason is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Investor Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Investor Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Investor Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Investors, 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 Company and the Investors in connection with the action or inaction which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Investors 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 relates to information supplied by the Company and the Investors and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
          (c) Each of the Company and the Investors agrees that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 5.8(b) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 5.8(b).
SECTION VI. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Each of the parties hereto agrees that each covenant and agreement made by it in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement is material, shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the other parties and shall remain operative and in full force and effect after the date hereof regardless of any investigation by any other party.

This Agreement may be amended with the prior written consent of the Company and a Majority Interest; provided, however, that any such amendment that adversely affects the Shareholders or Key Shareholders in a manner different than such Majority Interest shall require a prior written consent of a majority-in-interest of the Shareholders or Key Shareholders, as the case may be (in each case, based upon the number of Shares held thereby).
