NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. | Affirmative Covenants of the Company and the Investors. |
1.1 Financial Information.
(a) Subject to Section 5.8 herein, the Company will mail the following reports (in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 5.6 herein) to each Investor who, together with its Affiliates (as defined below), continues to hold at least 1,000,000 Preference Shares and/or Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the Preference Shares (appropriately adjusted for share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations and the like):
(i) As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter, audited financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of such fiscal year. Such year-end financial statements shall be prepared in reasonable detail and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by an accountant of national standing.
(ii) If requested by such Investor, a budget adopted by the Companys board of directors (the Board of Directors) for the next fiscal year.
(iii) As soon as practicable after the end of the first, second and third quarterly accounting periods in each fiscal year of the Company, updates regarding the Companys business in a form similar to the Financial Update (as defined in the Series D Preference Shares Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2006, by and among the Company and the Series D Purchasers (the Series D Purchase Agreement)).
(b) For purposes of determining the minimum holdings pursuant to this Section 1.1, any Investor shall be deemed to hold any Preference Shares originally purchased by such Investor and subsequently distributed or transferred to an Affiliate. If an Investor or its Affiliate is a partnership, or a limited liability company, and if the partnership or limited liability company is still in existence, the Company may satisfy any obligation to distribute reports to individual partners of the partnership or members of the limited liability company by delivering a single copy of each report to the partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, as agent for the constituent partners or members.
(c) The rights granted pursuant to Section 1.1 may not be assigned or otherwise conveyed by the Investors or by any subsequent transferee of any such rights without the prior written consent of the Company except as authorized in this Section. If any Investor which is a partnership or a limited liability company dissolves, such partnership or limited liability company may assign the rights granted pursuant to this Section 1.1 to its constituent partners or members. An Investor may assign the rights granted pursuant to this Section 1.1 to a transferee or assignee in connection with any transfer or assignment of Preference Shares and/or Ordinary Shares by the Investor provided that: (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws, (ii) the Company is given prompt notice of the transfer, (iii) such assignee or transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and (iv) such assignee or transferee is 1) any partner or retired partner of any Investor which is a partnership (or any member or retired member of any Investor which is a limited liability company), 2) an Affiliate or 3) any family member or trust for the benefit of any individual holder (such transferee or assignee, a Qualified Transferee).
2
1.2 Inspection. The Company will afford to each Investor who, with its Affiliates, related individuals or entities, continues to hold at least 1,000,000 Preference Shares and/or Ordinary Shares issued on conversion of the Preference Shares (appropriately adjusted for share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations and the like), and to such Investors accountants, counsel and other representatives reasonably acceptable to the Company, reasonable access during normal business hours to all of the Companys respective properties, books, contracts, commitments and records, including shareholder lists along with any information distributed to the Board of Directors. The Company also will furnish promptly to such Investors, as they may reasonably request, (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it pursuant to the requirements of federal and state securities laws, and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel. Each Investor shall have such other access to management and information as is necessary for it to comply with applicable laws and regulations and reporting obligations. The Company shall not be required to disclose details of contracts with or work performed for specific customers and other business partners where to do so would violate confidentiality obligations to those parties. Investors may exercise their rights under this Section 1.2 only for purposes reasonably related to its interests under this Agreement and related agreements. Investors rights under this Section 1.2 may not be transferred other than to a Qualified Transferee. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Company reserves the right at all times to deny any Investor access to certain materials and information of the Company if the Companys management reasonably determines that disclosure of such materials or information to such Investor would likely (i) compromise the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, (ii) result in a material breach of a confidentiality agreement between the Company and a third party that is in effect at the time, (iii) result in a conflict of interest because such materials or information relates to a direct competitor of such Investor, or (iv) if the Board of Directors reasonably determines that disclosure of such materials and information would likely materially impair the interests of the Company.
1.3 Reservation of Ordinary Shares. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the conversion of Preference Shares, all Ordinary Shares issuable from time to time upon such conversion.
1.4 Share Vesting. Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors, all options and other share equivalents issued after the date of this Agreement to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers shall be subject to vesting as follows: (a) twenty-five percent (25%) of such shares shall vest at the end of the first year following the earlier of the date of issuance or such persons services commencement date with the Company, and (b) seventy-five percent (75%) of such shares shall vest on a monthly basis over the remaining three (3) years. With respect to any shares purchased by any such person, the Companys repurchase option shall provide that upon such persons termination of employment or service with the Company, with or without cause, the Company or its assignee shall have the option to purchase at cost any unvested shares held by such person.
1.5 Employment, Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement. The Company shall require all employees and consultants to execute and deliver an Employment, Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F to the Series D Purchase Agreement.

Except with respect to the Companys right of first refusal set forth in that certain Third Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2006, by and among the Company, the Investors and certain other parties, in the event the Company elects not to exercise any right of first refusal or right of first offer the Company may have on a proposed transfer of any of the Companys outstanding capital stock pursuant to the Companys charter documents, by contract or otherwise, the Company may, to the extent it may do so and in its sole discretion, assign such right of first refusal or right of first offer to the Investors. In the event of such assignment, each Investor shall have a right to purchase its pro rata portion of the capital stock proposed to be transferred. Each Investors pro rata portion shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares proposed to be transferred by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by such Investor at the time of the proposed transfer and the denominator of which is the total number of Registrable Securities owned by all Investors at the time of such proposed transfer.
1.7 Director and Officer Liability Insurance. If the Company has not done so already, the Company shall acquire directors and officers liability insurance as early as reasonably practicable following the sale of Series D Shares pursuant to the Series D Purchase Agreement at commercially reasonable terms and with policy limits satisfactory to at least 60% of the members of the Board of Directors.
1.8 Termination of Covenants. The covenants set forth in Sections 1.1 through 1.7 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on the earliest of: (i) the time of effectiveness of the Companys first firm commitment underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), (ii) at such time when the Company becomes subject to the reporting provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), (iii) the merger or acquisition of the Company in which the consideration received is publicly traded securities and/or cash or (iv) the sale of all or substantially all assets of the Company.

7
no action letter from the Commission to the effect that the transfer of such securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon the holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the holder to the Company.

2.5 Requested Registration.
(a) Request for Registration. In case the Company shall receive from Initiating Holders a written request that the Company effect any registration, qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities, the aggregate proceeds of which, net of underwriting discounts and selling commissions, equal or exceed US$5,000,000, the Company will:
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, qualification or compliance to all other Holders; and
(ii) as soon as practicable, use its best efforts to effect such registration, qualification or compliance (including, without limitation, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company;
Provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.5:
(1) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;
(2) Prior to six (6) months after the effective date of the Companys first registered public offering of its equity securities in the jurisdiction in which the Initiating Holders have requested such registration be effected or two (2) years following the Closing Date (as defined in the Series D Purchase Agreement), whichever is earlier;
8
(3) In any jurisdiction other than (A) the jurisdiction(s) in which the Company has already effected a registered public offering of its equity securities, or (B) if either (i) the Initiating Holders are precluded from exercising their rights under both Sections 2.5 and 2.6 by reason of Section 2.5(a)(ii)(7) and the proviso in Section 2.6(a), respectively, or (ii) the Company has not effected a registered public offering of its equity securities in any jurisdiction, the United States;
(4) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Companys estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date six (6) months 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 all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;
(5) After the Company has effected two such registrations pursuant to this subparagraph 2.5(a), and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;
(6) If the Initiating Holders may dispose of shares of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 or Form F-3 pursuant to a request made under Section 2.7 hereof; or
(7) In the event the Initiating Holders have requested a registration to be effected in a jurisdiction other than the United States, to the extent the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion that such registration would impose materially more burdensome or costly obligations on the part of the Company as compared to those to which the Company would be subject had the request been for a registration to be effected in the United States.
(b) Underwriting. In the event that a registration pursuant to Section 2.5 is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as part of the notice given pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be conditioned upon such Holders participation in the underwriting arrangements required by this Section 2.5, and the inclusion of such Holders Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent requested shall be limited to the extent provided herein.
The Company shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company, but subject to reasonable approval of a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.5, if the managing underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all holders of Registrable Securities and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated pro rata, among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by such Holders at the time of filing the registration statement; provided, however, that the number of shares
9
of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration. No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriters marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and the Initiating Holders. The Registrable Securities and/or other securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration.
2.6 Company Registration.
(a) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to time the Company shall determine to register any of its securities, either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than (i) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, (ii) a registration relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction, or (iii) any first registered public offering of the Company in any jurisdiction, the Company will:
(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and
(ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, by any Holder;
provided, however, that if such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance) is to be effected in a jurisdiction other than the United States, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Section 2.6 to the extent the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion that the Company would be subject to materially more burdensome or costly obligations as compared to those to which it would be subject if the registration were to be effected in the United States.
(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(i). In such event the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be conditioned upon such Holders participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.6, if the managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in, such registration and underwriting. No such reduction shall reduce the amount of
10
securities of the selling Holders included in the registration below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration. The Founders Shares shall be excluded from registration prior to the exclusion of the Investors Shares. The Company shall so advise all Holders and other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all the Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by such Holder at the time of filing the Registration Statement. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder or holder to the nearest 100 shares. If any Holder or holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing underwriter. Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.
(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.6 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. Selling Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company.
2.7 Registration on Form S-3 or Form F-3.
(a) If any Holder or Holders who holds in excess of 2% of the Companys outstanding Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities then outstanding) request that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 or Form F-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3 or Form F-3) for a public offering of shares of the Registrable Securities the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of which, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed US$3,000,000, and the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 or Form F-3 to register the Registrable Securities for such an offering, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be registered for the offering on such form and to cause such Registrable Securities to be qualified in such jurisdictions as such Holder or Holders may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than two registrations pursuant to this Section 2.7 in any twelve (12) month period. The Company shall inform other Holders of the proposed registration and offer them the opportunity to participate. The substantive provisions of Section 2.5(b) shall be applicable to each registration initiated under this Section 2.7.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Section 2.7: (i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act; (ii) if the Company, within ten (10) days of the receipt of the request of the initiating holders, gives notice of its bona fide intention to effect the filing of a registration statement with the Commission within ninety (90) days of receipt of such request (other than with respect to a registration statement relating to a Rule 145 transaction, an offering solely to employees or any other registration which is not appropriate for the registration of Registrable Securities); or (iii) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Companys estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date six (6) months immediately following,
11
the effective date of a registration initiated by the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and that the Companys estimate of the date of filing such registration statement is made in good faith.
2.8 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with all registrations pursuant to Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 shall be borne by the Company, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.5 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration pursuant to Section 2.5; provided further however, that if the requested registration is withdrawn and at the time of such withdrawal the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to Section 2.5. All Selling Expenses shall be borne by the Holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of their shares so registered.
2.9 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration, qualification or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Section 2, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration, qualification and compliance and as to the completion thereof. At its expense the Company will:
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for at least one hundred eighty (180) days or until the distribution described in the Registration Statement has been completed;
(b) Furnish to the Holders participating in such registration and to the underwriters of the securities being registered such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as such underwriters may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities;
(c) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statements 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;
(d) Notify each seller 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 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
12
misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such seller, prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchaser of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing;
(e) 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;
(f) Cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; and
(g) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.
2.10 Indemnification.
(a) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors, trustees and partners, and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Section 2, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal, state or foreign securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, trustees and directors, and each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by any Holder, controlling person or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates
13
to any such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in a preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the registration statement becomes effective, such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of a Holder or underwriter, if any, if an amended prospectus is filed with the Commission and delivered pursuant to the Securities Act at or prior to the time of sale (including, without limitation, a contract of sale, and as further contemplated by Rule 159 of the Securities Act) to such person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage.
(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if any, of the Companys securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other such Holder, each of its officers, trustees and directors and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, such other Holders, such directors, officers, trustees, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in a preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus on file with the Commission at the time the registration statement becomes effective, such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of a Holder or underwriter, if any, if an amended prospectus is filed with the Commission and delivered pursuant to the Securities Act at or prior to the time of sale (including, without limitation, a contract of sale, and as further contemplated by Rule 159 of the Securities Act) to such person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage; provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.10(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Holder under this subsection (b) shall be limited in an amount equal to the proceeds of the shares sold by such Holder, less any applicable underwriting discounts and commissions; provided, however, such limitation shall not apply in the case of willful fraud by such Holder.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.10 (the Indemnified Party) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the Indemnifying Party) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the option to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the
14
Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such partys expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 2 unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Partys ability to defend such action and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or separate and different defenses. No claim may be settled without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). 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.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.10 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder under this Subsection 2.10(d) exceed the net proceeds from the public offering received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined 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.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
(f) The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 2.10 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 2, and otherwise.
2.11 Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders, the Registrable Securities held by them and the distribution proposed by such Holder or Holders as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 2.
15
2.12 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a public market exists for the Ordinary Shares of the Company, the Company agrees to use its best efforts 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 that the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
(b) File with the Commission 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);
(c) So long as the Investor owns any Restricted Securities, to furnish to the Investor forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public in the United States), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company and other information in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the Company as the Investor may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing the Investor to sell any such securities without registration.
2.13 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted Investor under Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 may be assigned to a transferee or assignee in connection with any transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities by the Investor provided that: (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws, (ii) the Company is given prompt notice of the transfer, (iii) such assignee or transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and (iv) such assignee or transferee is 1) any partner or retired partner of any Holder which is a partnership (or any member or retired member of any Holder which is a limited liability company), 2) any Affiliate of any Holder, 3) any family member or trust for the benefit of any individual holder, or 4) any transferee who holds at least 1,000,000 shares of the Companys Registrable Securities (appropriately adjusted for share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations and the like).
2.14 Standoff Agreement.
(a) In connection with the Companys initial public offering of its equity securities pursuant to (i) a registration statement filed under the Securities Act or (ii) securities laws applicable to an offering of securities in a jurisdiction other than the United States, upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Companys securities, the Investors shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any equity securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) from the effective date of such registration as may be reasonably
16
requested by the Company or such underwriters; provided that all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least one percent (1%) of the Companys voting securities enter into similar agreements.
(b) In connection with any public offering of the Companys equity securities subsequent to the first registered public offering of the Companys equity securities in any jurisdiction pursuant to (i) a registration statement filed under the Securities Act or (ii) securities laws applicable to an offering of securities in a jurisdiction other than the United States (a Follow-On Offering), upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Companys securities, the Investors shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any equity securities eligible for inclusion, but not included, in such Follow-On Offering pursuant to Section 2.6 above without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed ninety (90) days) from the effective date of such Follow-On Offering as may be reasonably requested by the Company or such underwriters; provided that all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least one percent (1%) of the Companys voting securities enter into similar agreements.
2.15 Delay. If the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its members for a registration statement to be filed in the near future, then the Companys obligation to use its best efforts to register, qualify or comply under Sections 2.5 or 2.7 shall be deferred for a period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of receipt of written request from the Initiating Holders.
2.16 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed under Section 2.5 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of his securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders which is included or (b) to make a demand registration which could result in such registration statement being declared effective prior to the earlier of either of the dates set forth in Section 2.5 or within 120 days after the effective date of any registration effected pursuant to Section 2.5.
2.17 Termination. The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted Investor under Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 shall expire (i) at such time as such Holder owns securities constituting less than 1% of the outstanding voting shares of the Company and is able to dispose of all such securities in one three-month period pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) five years after the Companys initial public offering of its securities on any public stock exchange in the United States or Hong Kong.

3. | Right of First Offer. |
3.1 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 3.1, the Company hereby grants to each Investor who, with its Affiliates, continues to hold at least 1,000,000 Preference Shares and/or Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the Preference Shares (appropriately adjusted for share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations and the like), a right of first offer to purchase its Pro Rata Share (as hereinafter defined) (in whole or in part) with respect to future sales by the Company of New Securities (as hereinafter defined). Each such Investor shall be entitled to assign or apportion the right of first offer hereby granted it among itself and its Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate. For purposes of this Section 3.1, an Investors Pro Rata Share shall mean that number of New Securities that equals the ratio that (i) the number of Ordinary Shares issuable or issued upon conversion of the Preference Shares held by such Investor bears to (ii) the total number of Ordinary Shares of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities, whether vested or unvested, then outstanding).
Each time the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or securities convertible into or exercisable for any shares of, any class of its shares (New Securities), the Company shall first make an offering of such New Securities to each such Investor described above in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) The Company shall deliver a notice by confirmed facsimile transmission, certified mail or a nationally recognized overnight courier service (Notice) to each of such Investors stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and a summary of the terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.
(b) By written notification received by the Company within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Notice, each such Investor may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, up to its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities.
(c) If all New Securities that such Investors are entitled to obtain pursuant to subsection 3.1(b) are not elected to be obtained as provided in subsection 3.1(b) hereof, the Company may, during the seventy-five (75) day period following the expiration of the period provided in subsection 3.1(b) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities to any person or persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than those specified in the 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 forty-five (45) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to such Investors in accordance herewith.
(d) The right of first offer in this Section 3.1 shall not be applicable to any Ordinary Shares issued or issuable: (i) upon conversion of Preference Shares; (ii) as a dividend or distribution on Ordinary Shares or Preference Shares; (iii) to employees, directors or consultants pursuant to stock option or restricted stock purchase plans or agreements approved by at least 60%
18
of the members of the Board of Directors, provided that the aggregate number of such Ordinary Shares issued from time to time does not at any time exceed 30% of the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding on an as-if converted and fully diluted basis (which total shall include all Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to a stock option plan, restricted stock purchase plan or similar equity plan approved by the Board of Directors); (iv) to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (v) pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business combination approved by at least 60% of the members of the Board of Directors; (vi) upon the exercise of the Ordinary Share Warrants; (vii) to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions or individuals in connection with a commercial leasing or debt financing transaction approved by at least 60% of the members of the Board of Directors; (viii) in connection with the acquisition of patents or other intellectual property assets in transactions approved by at least 60% of the members of the Board of Directors; and (ix) in connection with a share split, share dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction.
3.2 Termination of Right. The right of first offer granted hereunder shall expire upon the first to occur of the following: (i) the closing of the first public offering of the Ordinary Shares to the general public which is effected pursuant to (a) a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Commission under the Securities Act or (b) the securities laws applicable to an offering of securities in Hong Kong; (ii) as to each Investor, if such Investor, along with its Affiliates, no longer holds 1,000,000 Preference Shares and/or Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the Preference Shares (appropriately adjusted for share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations and the like); or (iii) an acquisition of the Company by merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of the assets thereof or other reorganization whereby the Company and its shareholders own less than a majority of the voting power of the surviving or successor corporation.
4. | Board Observer Rights. |
4.1 Rights of Observer. The Company shall permit a representative of New Enterprise Associates 11, a limited partnership and its Affiliates (NEA) (the Observer) to attend each meeting of the Board of Directors (including any meetings occurring by telephone or other means), and to participate in all discussions during each such meeting (but not to vote on any matter). The Company shall send to the Observer notice of the time and place of each meeting in the same manner and at the same time as it shall send such notice to its directors. The Company shall also provide to the Observer copies of all other notices and all reports in the same manner and at the same time as such notices and reports are provided to its directors. The Observer shall initially be Paul Hsiao.
4.2 Limitation of Rights. The Company reserves the right to exclude the Observer from any meeting or portion thereof, and deny access to any material, if the Company believes that such exclusion or denial of access is reasonably necessary: (i) to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel; (ii) to prevent a material breach of a confidentiality agreement between the Company and a third party that is in effect at the time; (iii) to prevent disclosure of information which the Board of Directors reasonably determines would result in a conflict of interest for the Company; or (iv) for any other reason, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors, to prevent material impairment to the interests of the Company.
19
4.3 Transferability and Termination. The rights described in this Section 4 may not be assigned or transferred except (x) upon the written consent of the Company and the consent of a majority in interest of the Preference Shares and/or Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the Preference Shares, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or (y) to a Qualified Transferee of NEA. The rights described in this Section 4 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the consummation of the Companys initial public offering; or (ii) at such time NEA holds, directly or indirectly, less than 5,000,000 Ordinary Shares (appropriately adjusted for share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations and the like).

Upon the effectuation of each such waiver, consent, agreement, amendment or modification the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the record holders of the Preference Shares or Conversion Shares who have not previously consented thereto in writing. Neither this Agreement nor any provisions hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by a signed statement in writing.
