a) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 145”) or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;

b) After the Company has effected two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 4.01 and each such registration has been declared or ordered effective;

c) If any such Requesting Holders may dispose of shares of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 or Form F-3 under the Securities Act as in effect on the date hereof or any successor form under the Securities Act (“Form S-3/F-3”); or

Section 4.02 “Piggyback” Registration Rights. The Company hereby agrees with the Holders that at any time after the Closing, if the Company shall determine to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a new registration statement under the Securities Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale of any of its securities by it or any of its security holders (other than (a) a registration statement on Form F-4, F-8 or other limited purpose form or (b) any registration under Section 4.01 of this Agreement), the Company will give written notice of its determination to all Holders. Upon the written request from any Holders (the “Requesting Piggyback Holders”), within 10 days after their receipt of any such notice from the Company, the Company will, except as herein provided, cause all of the Company Class A Ordinary Shares covered by such request (the “Requested Piggyback Shares”) held by the Requesting Piggyback Holders to be included in such registration statement, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the prospective seller or sellers of the Requested Piggyback Shares. If any registration pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be underwritten in whole or in part, the Company may require that the Requested Piggyback Shares be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold through the underwriters. In such event, the Requesting Piggyback Holders shall, if requested by the underwriters, execute an underwriting agreement containing customary representations and warranties by selling shareholders. If in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter of such public offering the inclusion of all of the Requested Piggyback Shares would reduce the number of shares to be offered by the Company or interfere with the successful marketing of the securities offered by the Company, the number of shares of Requested Piggyback Shares otherwise to be included in the underwritten public offering may be reduced pro rata (by number of shares) among the Requesting Piggyback Holders and all other holders of registration rights with respect to the Company’s shares who have requested inclusion of their securities or excluded in their entirety if so required by the underwriter. Registration pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 4.01 above. The Company’s obligations under this Section 4.02 shall not apply to the shares held by a Holder after the earlier of (a) five (5) years from the date of this Agreement, (b) the date that such shares held by a Holder have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement, and (c) such time as such shares held by a Holder are eligible for immediate resale pursuant to Rule 144.

a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such securities, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof;

b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments to such registration statement and supplements to the prospectus contained therein as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective;

c) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders may reasonably request in writing within 20 days following the original filing of such registration statement, except that the Company shall not for any purpose be required to execute a general consent to service of process or to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified;

d) notify the Holders, promptly after it shall receive notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has become effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed;

e) prepare and file with the SEC, promptly upon the request of any Holders, any amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus which, in the opinion of counsel for such Holders (and concurred in by counsel for the Company), is required under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the distribution of ordinary shares by such Holders;

f) prepare and promptly file with the SEC and promptly notify such Holders of the filing of such amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any statements or omissions if, at the time when a prospectus relating to such securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall have occurred as the result of which any such prospectus or any other prospectus as then in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; and

g) advise the Holders, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose.

Failure to do so will at minimum result in exclusion of such Holders’ Company Class A Ordinary Shares from the registration statement.

Section 4.04 Expenses. To the extent required by Sections 4.01 and 4.02, the Company will:

a) Subject to Section 4.04(b), with respect to the any registration required pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02 hereof, all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of and incidental to such registration, inclusion and public offering (as specified in paragraph (b) below) in connection therewith shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration process begun pursuant to this Section 4.04 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders or any subset thereof, unless the Holders agree that such registration constitutes the use by the Holders of one (1) demand registration pursuant to Section 4.01.
