DRAG ALONG RIGHTS
119. | If prior to the closing of the Qualified IPO, the Company receives a firm offer (the “Qualified Acquisition Offer”) from a third party acquirer (the “Offeror”) for a Share Sale or a Deemed Liquidation Event (the “Qualified Acquisition”), whether structured as a merger, reorganization, asset sale, share sale, sale of control of the Company, or otherwise, that is approved by (1) a majority of the Board, (2) the Majority Preferred Holders, and (3) holders of a majority of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, voting as a separate class (the holders of Shares in the foregoing (2) and (3) are collectively referred to as “Drag Holders”), then the Company shall promptly deliver a written notice (the “Drag Notice”) to notify each other Member of the Company and the material terms and conditions of such proposed Qualified Acquisition, whereupon each such Member shall, in accordance with instructions received from the Company, participate in such Qualified Acquisition by: |
(a) voting all of such Member’s Equity Securities (or otherwise consent in writing) (i) to approve such Qualified Acquisition, (ii) against any other consolidation, recapitalization, amalgamation, merger, sale of securities, sale of assets, business combination, or transaction that would interfere with, delay, restrict or otherwise adversely affect such Qualified Acquisition, and (iii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the definitive agreement(s) related to such Qualified Acquisition or that could result in any of the conditions to the closing obligations under such agreement(s) not being fulfilled;
(b) selling, at the same time as the Drag Holders sell to the Offeror, in the Qualified Acquisition, all of its Equity Securities or the same percentage of its Equity Securities as the Drag Holders sell, on the same terms and conditions provided in such Qualified Acquisition Offer; provided, however, that such terms and conditions, including with respect to price paid or received per Share of the Company, may differ as between different classes of Equity Securities of the Company in accordance with their relative liquidation rights and liquidation preferences as set forth in Article 8.2. Each such Member furthermore agrees to take all necessary actions in connection with the consummation of such Qualified Acquisition;
(c) refraining from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Qualified Acquisition; and
(d) executing and delivering all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Qualified Acquisition as shall reasonably be requested by the Company;
provided that (i) such Qualified Acquisition shall be deemed a liquidation of the Company and the proceeds therefrom shall be distributed in accordance with the liquidation rights and liquidation preferences as set forth in Article 8.2, (ii) each Member shall be entitled to receive the same relative form of consideration as each other in the Qualified Acquisition, (iii) no Member who is not an employee or officer or controlling shareholder of a Group Company shall be required to make any representations or warranties other than with respect to itself (including due authorization, title to shares, enforceability of applicable agreements, and similar representations and warranties), (iv) each Member shall severally, not jointly, join on a pro rata basis (based upon relative proceeds received in such transaction) in any indemnification or other obligations that are part of the terms and conditions of such Qualified Acquisition (other than those that relate specifically to a particular Member) but only up to the net proceeds paid to such Member in connection with such Qualified Acquisition, and (v) each Member, solely out of the proceeds actually received in the Qualified Acquisition, shall bear a proportionate share (based upon the relative proceeds received in such transaction) of the Drag Holders’ expenses incurred in the transaction, including, without limitation, legal, accounting and investment banking fees and expenses.
