(f)                                   in favor of a shareholder rights plan or similar “poison pill” mechanism that would restrict, or trigger rights or obligations in connection with, the accumulation of a specified level of beneficial ownership by a Person or “group” (as defined by Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than Tencent Group, at such specified level or other customary trigger (a “Poison Pill”); it being understood that nothing in this clause (f) shall limit the obligations of the Company in Section 2.6 herein or require any member of the Tencent Group to vote in favor of any Poison Pill that the Company is prohibited from adopting under Section 2.6; and

 

(g)                                  in favor of any matter for which the Board has provided a recommendation to vote in favor and for which the Tencent Designee has also voted in favor,

 

in each case other than clause (f) above, except with respect to any matters related to a Competing Transaction pending at the time of such vote, in which case the provisions of this Section 2.3 will not apply with respect to such matters primarily related to a Competing Transaction.

 

Tencent Group’s voting obligations in this Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 below shall be conditioned upon the Company providing Tencent with written notice (which may be by email to the Tencent Designee from any of the Company’s executive officers, directors or corporate secretary) of each matter that has been submitted to the vote or written consent of holders of Common Stock and which has received a Majority Recommendation.

 

2.4.                            Voting Percentage Limit.  Notwithstanding Section 2.3 above, if at any time when a matter that has received a Majority Recommendation is presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Company (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting) and Tencent Group have beneficial ownership of Common Stock in excess of 20% of the Common Stock then outstanding (the “Voting Percentage Limit”), Tencent shall vote, or cause the vote of, such shares of Common Stock that Tencent Group beneficially owns and has the right to vote on such matter and that exceed such Voting Percentage Limit in accordance with such Majority Recommendation.  In furtherance of the foregoing, Tencent will provide the Company with written notice of the maximum amount of Common Stock that Tencent and any of its controlled Affiliates collectively intends to acquire in the following six (6)-month period (but need not state when in such period such securities may be acquired), provided that such notice is provided to the Company at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the commencement of such period.  Tencent agrees to prevent any member of Tencent Group from directly or indirectly acquiring, or entering into any agreement to acquire, beneficial ownership of capital stock of the Company

3.2.                            Permitted Disclosures Upon Mutual Acquisition Agreement.  To the extent that following Negotiated Transaction Discussions, the Company and Tencent enter into a mutually agreed definitive agreement for an Acquisition that contemplates a tender offer by members of Tencent Group, Tencent Group shall be permitted to disclose such information in its filings with the SEC as is required, as reasonably determined by Tencent following consultation with U.S. securities counsel, to conduct such tender offer under applicable federal securities laws in accordance with such mutually agreed definitive agreement (a “Permitted Tender Offer”), in addition to any disclosure permitted under the Confidentiality Agreement.

 

4.                                      Right of First Notification.

 

4.1.                            Waiting Period.  The Company will not enter into any agreement with a third party (other than a confidentiality agreement regarding the provision of information to such third party in connection with a potential Acquisition), in furtherance of an Acquisition of the Company involving such third party, that would preclude the ability of the Company to conduct discussions or negotiations, or reach an agreement with members of Tencent Group regarding an Acquisition of the Company by members of Tencent Group, until (a) five (5) Business Days following delivery of an ROFN Notice, or (b) such earlier time as Tencent notifies the Company that it has determined that it does not desire or intend to negotiate an Acquisition involving the Company (such period, as may be extended pursuant to Section 4.2, the “Waiting Period”).  During the Waiting Period, if requested by Tencent, the Company will negotiate in good faith with Tencent regarding a potential Acquisition involving members of Tencent Group and the Company; provided however, the Company may also engage in negotiations, discussions or sharing of information with any other third party during the Waiting Period.  In connection with any Acquisition of the Company, the Board will follow a process consistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware law, including not precluding the ability of the Board to consider, after signing a definitive agreement for such Acquisition of the Company, a bona fide, written and unsolicited Proposal from Tencent Group or any other third party that may be superior to the terms in such definitive agreement, and to change its recommendation with respect thereto following such consideration, to the extent required by Delaware law.

 

4.2.                            Information.  During the Waiting Period, to the extent reasonably requested by Tencent for purposes of Tencent Group’s consideration of making a Proposal to the Company, the Company will provide Tencent Group with reasonable access during reasonable business hours to books, records, facilities, officers and other information reasonably requested by Tencent Group, and (A) such access shall be no less extensive and no more restrictive than that provided to any other party that has made or is contemplating making a Proposal, and (B) if and to the extent that the Company does not provide such access to Tencent, the time period in Section 4.1(a) above will be tolled for the period of any such delay.

 

4.3.                            Notice Requirement Suspension Period.  Following the expiration of the Waiting Period in accordance with the terms hereof, and provided that the Company has materially complied with this Section 4 with respect to such third party, the Company will have no further obligation to Tencent Group pursuant to this Section 4 for a period of 180 days

 

9



 

commencing the day following the end of the Waiting Period (after which time period the Company shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 4 if the Company does not enter into a definitive agreement that leads to a consummated Acquisition, including via an alternative Proposal during the pendency of such definitive agreement).  If the Company enters into a definitive agreement during such 180-day period and has materially complied with this Section 4, it may thereafter consummate an Acquisition pursuant to such definitive agreement (or the definitive agreement entered into in connection with an alternative Proposal during the pendency of such definitive agreement) without any obligation to Tencent Group.  For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent that the Company receives additional inquiries or written offers within the Waiting Period or such 180-day period, no additional requirement for an ROFN Notice or Waiting Period prior to entry into an arrangement in connection with such additional inquiries offers will be triggered.

 

4.4.                            Confidentiality.  Any notice, including any ROFN Notice, provided to members of Tencent Group or their respective representatives hereunder (including any information provided in accordance with Section 4.2) shall be deemed “Confidential Information” for purposes of the MNDA (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement), and, solely with respect to the information provided in such ROFN Notice or otherwise provided pursuant to this Section 4), the term of such MNDA shall automatically be extended to three (3) years following the date of such ROFN Notice, without any further action of the parties thereto.  Tencent shall cause the Representatives of the Tencent Group to observe, and shall be liable for any breach by such Representatives of, the confidentiality or use restrictions thereunder.

 

5.                                      Termination.

 

(a)                                 Competing Transaction.  The provisions of Section 3 shall become inoperative and of no further force or effect upon the occurrence of a Competing Transaction with respect to the Company; provided that if any Competing Transaction has lapsed, is abandoned, terminated or is otherwise no longer pending, the provisions of Section 3 shall thereafter be in full force and effect.

 

(b)                                 Larger Holder.  In the event that another holder of the Company’s Common Stock, together with its Affiliates, acquires more than the Voting Percentage Limit in one or more transactions, the provisions of Section 2.4 shall become inoperative and of no further force or effect; provided that if such other holder subsequently publicly announces (including by regulatory filings) that it holds, or the Company certifies (by an executive officer on its behalf) that such other holder holds,  less than the Voting Percentage Limit, the provisions of Section 2.4 shall thereafter be in full force and effect.  In the event that another holder of the Company’s Common Stock, together with its Affiliates, acquires more than the Standstill Percentage Limit in one or more transactions, the provisions of Section 3 shall become inoperative and of no further force or effect; provided that if such other holder subsequently publicly announces (including by regulatory filings) that it holds, or the Company certifies (by an executive officer on its behalf) that such other holder holds, less than the Standstill Percentage Limit, the provisions of Section 3 shall thereafter be in full force and effect.

(c)                                  Loss of Tencent Designee Rights.  In the event that no Tencent Designee serves on the Board and a Rights Termination Event has occurred, the provisions of Section 2.3, Section 2.4 and Section 4 shall become inoperative and of no further force or effect.  In addition, in the event that no Tencent Designee serves on the Board and Tencent Group no longer has the right to such a designee due to Tencent Group no longer holding the Rights Minimum, the provisions in Section 3 shall become inoperative and of no further force or effect.

 

(d)                                 Negotiated Transaction.  To the extent that following Negotiated Transaction Discussions, the Board, including a majority of the disinterested members of the Board (excluding the Tencent Designee), approves one or more transactions as a result of which Tencent Group has obtained economic beneficial ownership equal to at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the provisions in Section 2.3 and 2.4 shall become inoperative and of no further force and effect.

 

(e)                                  Acquisition of the Company.  Unless earlier terminated, upon the consummation of an Acquisition of the Company, the provisions of Section 4 shall become inoperative and of no further force or effect.

 

(f)                                   Eight (8) Years.  Unless earlier terminated, the provisions of Section 2.1(c), Section 2.4, Section 3 and Section 4 shall otherwise terminate on the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Initial Closing Date.

7.                                      Dispute Resolution.  The parties agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that such damage may not be adequately compensable in monetary damages.  Accordingly, the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement exclusively in the Court of Chancery or other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity, and each party agrees it will not take any action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to another party seeking relief.  Each of the parties hereto agrees to waive any bonding requirement under any applicable law, in the case any other party seeks to enforce the terms by way of equitable relief.  Furthermore, each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery or, to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to exercise jurisdiction over the matter, other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery or, to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to exercise jurisdiction over the matter, other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware, and (d) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of process by a reputable overnight mail delivery service,
