In the event that prior to the Qualified IPO, the Company issues any Additional Securities (as defined below) at a price per Share lower than the applicable Conversion Price of a class or series of Preferred Shares in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then upon each such issuance, the Conversion Price of such class shall be reduced, for no additional consideration, in accordance with the following

14


formula:
CP2 = CP1 * (A+B) / (A+C)
in which:
CP2
=
the new Conversion Price.
 
 
 
CP1
=
the Conversion Price, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Securities.
 
 
 
A
=
the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Securities (includes all Ordinary Shares outstanding, all Preferred A Shares, all Preferred B Shares, all Preferred C Shares and all Preferred D Shares outstanding, on an as-converted basis).
 
 
 
B
=
the aggregate consideration received by the Company with respect to such issuance of Additional Securities, divided by CP1.
 
 
 
C
=
the number of Additional Securities issued.
12.4.4.1
No adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to Article 12.4.4 above shall be made if it has the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
12.4.4.2
In the case of the issuance of Additional Securities for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received therefor after giving effect to any discounts, finder’s fees, or underwriting commissions paid or incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
12.4.4.3
In the case of the issuance of Additional Securities for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof, as shall be determined in good faith by the Board.
12.4.4.4
In the case of the issuance of warrants or options to purchase, or rights to subscribe for, Additional Securities, or securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Additional Securities or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities (collectively, “Options”), the Additional Securities deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including without limitation the passage of time, but without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments), conversion or exchange, as the case may be, of such Options, shall be deemed to have been issued at the time of

15


issuance of such Options at a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in Articles 12.4.4.2 and 12.4.4.3), if any, received by the Company for such Options upon the issuance of such Options plus any additional consideration payable to the Company pursuant to the terms of such Options (without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) for the Additional Securities covered thereby provided, however, that if any options as to which an adjustment to the Conversion Price has been made pursuant to this Article 12.4.4.4 expire without having been exercised, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such Options had not been issued (without any effect, however, on adjustments to the Conversion Price as a result of other events described in this Article).
12.4.4.5
For purposes of Article 12.4.4, the consideration for any Additional Securities shall be taken into account at the U.S. dollar equivalent thereof, on the day such Additional Securities are issued or deemed to be issued pursuant to Article 12.4.4.4 above.
12.4.4.6
"Additional Securities" means any Securities issued by the Company following the Purchase Date of the Preferred D Shares, other than securities issued (the “Excluded Securities”): (i) pursuant to the ESOP and up to the ESOP Pool; (ii) upon conversion or reclassification of outstanding Preferred Shares; (iii) upon exercise of a warrant or other convertible security outstanding as at the date of adoption of these Articles, if any; and (iv) as dividend or bonus shares, distributed to all Shareholders on a pro-rata basis (provided that each Shareholder receives dividend shares of the same class and series as the class and series held by such Shareholder).
12.4.5
Recapitalization Event. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a Recapitalization Event (other than any actions under Article 12.4.4), and other than a Liquidation, Dividend Distribution or Deemed Liquidation under Articles 12.1 and 12.2 above, provision shall be made so that the Preferred Shareholders shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the number of Ordinary Shares or other securities or property of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares would have been entitled immediately prior to such Recapitalization Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 12.4 with respect to the rights of the Preferred Shareholders after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Article 12.4 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.
12.4.6
No Fractional Shares and Certificates as to Adjustments. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, and the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

16


12.4.7
Computation. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article 12.4, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each Preferred Shareholder a certificate setting forth each adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a Preferred Share.
12.4.8
Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any Dividend or other Distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, the Company shall mail to each holder of shares, at least 15 Business Days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such Dividend Distribution or other right, and the amount and character of such Dividend Distribution or other right.
12.4.9
Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but un-issued Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but un-issued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Preferred Shares, then the Company will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but un-issued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
12.5
Voting Rights. Each Preferred Share shall initially have one (1) vote. The Preferred Shares shall vote together with the other Ordinary, and not as a separate class, in all General Meetings, except as required herein or by any applicable law, with each Preferred Share having votes in such number as if then converted into Ordinary Shares taking into account any adjustments under Article 12.4 (“on an as-converted basis”).

Preemptive Rights
14.1
Until the consummation of a Qualified IPO, and except:
(i)
to the extent the right to receive such offer has or shall have been waived in writing by a Qualified Shareholder who would otherwise be entitled thereto (such waiver being effective only with respect to such Qualified Shareholder waiving such right);
(ii)
for the issuance of Excluded Securities;
(iii)
for securities offered to the public in an IPO;
(iv)
for securities issued in connection with or as part of a Deemed Liquidation,
- the following provisions shall govern the issuance of any Securities of the Company.
14.2
If the Company proposes to issue Securities (the “Offered Securities”), it shall give each Qualified Shareholder a written notice of its intention to do so (the “Rights Notice”), describing the Offered Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue them. Each Qualified Shareholder shall have twenty (20) Business Days from delivery of the Rights Notice (the “Pre Emptive Period”) to agree to purchase all or any part of its pro-rata share of such Offered Securities, which will enable it to maintain its shareholding percentage of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company (calculated on an as-converted basis) immediately prior to such issuance, for the price and upon the terms specified in the Rights Notice, by giving written notice to the Company setting forth the quantity of Offered Securities which the Qualified Shareholder wishes to purchase.

19


14.3
If a Qualified Shareholder does not provide written notice of its intention to purchase its pro-rata share of the Offered Securities by the end of the Pre Emptive Period (a “Non-Accepting Shareholder”), each Qualified Shareholder that has notified the Company of its intention to purchase its pro-rata share of the Offered Securities (an “Accepting Shareholder”) shall have a right of over-allotment to purchase the Non-Accepting Shareholders portion of the Offered Securities (the “Available Securities”). The Company, within ten (10) days from end of the Pre Emptive Period, shall notify each Accepting Shareholder of its right to purchase the Available Securities. Each Accepting Shareholder shall then have ten (10) Business Days after such notice is delivered (the “Over Allotment Period”) to agree to purchase the Available Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the Rights Notice, by giving written notice to the Company. If more than one Accepting Shareholder notifies the Company that it wishes to purchase the Available Securities, the Available Securities shall be allocated among such Accepting Shareholders pro-rata, according to the ratio of the number of issued shares owned by such Accepting Shareholder immediately prior to the issuance of Offered Securities (calculated on an as-converted basis), to the total number of shares owned by all Accepting Shareholders immediately prior to the issuance of Offered Securities, (calculated on an as-converted basis).
14.4
The pre-emptive rights set forth in this Article 14 may be waived only with the written consent of (i) the Preferred Majority; (ii)  the holders of 75% of all of the issued and outstanding Preferred C Shares and (iii) more than two-thirds of all issued and outstanding Preferred D Shares.
14.5
If the Qualified Shareholders fail to exercise in full their preemptive right by the end of the Over Allotment Period, then the Company shall have ninety (90) days after delivery of the Rights Notice to sell the unsold Offered Securities at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Rights Notice. If the Company has not sold the Offered Securities within said ninety (90) day period the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Offered Securities without first offering such securities to the Preferred Shareholders in the manner provided above.
15.
Transfer, Transmission and Sale of Shares in the Company
Any Transfer of Securities in the Company shall be subject to the following provisions:
15.1
No Transfer of Shares shall be effective unless the Transfer is made in accordance with the provisions of this Article 15 and Articles 16, 17 and 20 below, provided, however, that the Board, at its discretion, may refuse to register any Transfer to any person or entity that is a competitor of the Company.

The Board shall not register or record a Transfer in the Shareholders Register, if such Transfer is effected in violation of these Articles.
Any purported Transfer in contravention of the provisions of these Articles relating to the Transfer of Shares shall be null and void.

21


of the deceased. However, nothing aforesaid shall release the estate of a joint holder of a Share from any obligation with respect to the Share that the deceased held jointly with any other holder.
15.7
Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation of a Shareholder shall, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Board, have the right, either to be registered as a Shareholder in respect of such Share upon the consent of the Board (which has the authority to refuse pursuant to Article 15.1 above) or, instead of being registered himself, to transfer such Share to another person, subject to the provisions contained in Article 15.1 above and elsewhere in these Articles with respect to Transfers.
15.8
A person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death of a Shareholder shall not be entitled to receive notices of General or Class Meetings, or to participate or vote thereat with respect to that Share, or to exercise any right of a Shareholder, until such person has notified the Company of his entitlement and has been recorded in the Shareholders Register as the registered holder of such Share. Subject to compliance with the foregoing provisions, the Company shall record such person in the Company’s Shareholders Register no later than 30 days following receipt of such notice.
15.9
Additionally, each Transfer of Shares shall be subject to and conditioned upon the transferee undertaking in writing and in advance, to be bound by such terms of any contractual obligations with respect to the transferred Shares by which the transferor was bound immediately prior to the Transfer, including under any agreements to which the Company is also a party, and the Company shall not record nor otherwise give any force or effect to any Transfer made not in violation of this Article 15.9.
16.
Right of First Refusal
16.1
Until an IPO, each Preferred Shareholder shall have a right of first refusal with respect to a Transfer of all or any of the Securities of the Company by any Shareholder (the "ROFR Transferor").
16.2
Any ROFR Transferor proposing to Transfer all or any of its Securities (the “Offered Shares”) shall first provide the Preferred Shareholders with an offer stating the identity of the ROFR Transferor and of the transferee and the terms of the proposed Transfer (the “Offer”). Each Preferred Shareholder may accept such Offer in respect of any portion of the Offered Shares (“Accepting Preferred Shareholder") by giving the Company notice to that effect within fourteen (14) Business Days after being served with the Offer (the “ROFR Period”, and an “Acceptance”, respectively).
16.3
If the Acceptances, in the aggregate, are in respect of all of, or more than, the Offered Shares, then the Accepting Preferred Shareholders shall acquire the Offered Shares, on the terms aforementioned, in proportion to their respective holdings of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital (calculated on an as-converted basis), provided, however, that no Accepting Preferred Shareholder shall be entitled or shall be forced to acquire under the provisions of this Article 16 more than the number of Offered Shares initially accepted by such Accepting Preferred Shareholder under the Acceptance, and upon the allocation to it of the full number of Offered Shares so

22


accepted, such Accepting Preferred Shareholder shall be disregarded in any subsequent computations and allocations hereunder. Any Offered Shares remaining after the computation of such respective entitlements shall be re-allocated among the remaining Accepting Preferred Shareholders (other than those to be disregarded as aforesaid), in the same manner, until one hundred percent (100%) of the Offered Shares have been allocated as aforesaid.
16.4
If the Acceptances are in respect of less than all of the Offered Shares, then the Accepting Preferred Shareholders shall not be entitled to acquire the Offered Shares, and the ROFR Transferor, at the expiration of the aforementioned fourteen (14)-business day period, shall be entitled to Transfer all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares to the proposed transferee(s) identified in the Offer, provided, however, that in no event shall the ROFR Transferor Transfer any of the Offered Shares to any transferee other than such proposed transferee(s) or Transfer the same on terms more favorable to the transferee(s) than those stated in the Offer, provided, further, that any Offered Shares not Transferred within ninety (90) days after the expiration of such ROFR Period, shall again be subject to the provisions of this Article 16.
16.5
The ROFR Transferor shall be bound, upon payment of the offer price, to Transfer to the Accepting Preferred Shareholders the Offered Shares which have been allocated to the Accepting Preferred Shareholders pursuant to this Article 16. If, after becoming so bound, the ROFR Transferor defaults in Transferring the Offered Shares, the Company may receive the purchase price therefor and the Transferor shall be deemed to have appointed any member of the Board as his agent to execute a Transfer of the Offered Shares to the Accepting Preferred Shareholders and, upon execution of such Transfer, the Company shall hold the purchase price therefor in trust for the ROFR Transferor.
17.
No Sale
Each Founder may Transfer up to 100,000 Shares held by such Founder in each twelve (12) month period, subject to the right of first refusal contained in Article 16 above and the Co-Sale rights contained in Article 20, provided that other than the foregoing Shares, neither Founder may Transfer any other Shares.

18.2
The majority set forth in Article 18.1 above for Shareholders accepting the Purchase Offer shall be deemed the majority required under Section 341(d) of the Companies Law.

23


18.3
Each Shareholder hereby agrees to vote in favor of any resolution brought before a General and/or Class Meeting in order to consummate the transaction contemplated in the Purchase Offer, and to take all steps and actions, including signing all documents and delivery of Share certificates, as are required to fully effect such transaction and hereby waives any appraisal rights with respect thereto.
18.4
Without derogating from Article 18.3 above, all Shareholders shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to such person as shall be designated by the Shareholders who accepted the Purchase Offer to vote for, and sign all documents in connection with, the acceptance of such Purchase Offer and at the closing of such Purchase Offer all of the Shareholders will transfer all their Securities to such person or entity at the same price and terms as the Purchase Offer. If a Shareholder fails to surrender its Share certificate, or any other instrument evidencing its Securities in connection with the consummation of the Purchase Offer, such certificate or instrument shall be deemed canceled, the Company shall be authorized to issue a new certificate or instrument in the name of the person making the Purchase Offer, the Board shall be authorized to establish an escrow account into which the consideration for such canceled Securities shall be deposited and a trust to administer such account.
18.5
The Company shall not issue any Securities, or effect any Transfer of Securities by any Shareholder until it has satisfactory evidence that such subscriber or transferee (to the extent not a Shareholder prior to the issuance or Transfer) shall be bound by, and be subject to, the provisions of this Article 18.

19.2
In addition to and without derogating from the above, a Transfer of Shares held by any trustee pursuant to an ESOP to any participant of the ESOP, shall not be subject to the rights of first refusal set forth in these Articles.
20.
Right of Co-Sale
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the Preferred Shareholders shall be entitled to participate, on a pro rata basis and on identical terms, in any Transfer of Shares (the "Transferred Shares") by any Founder or other members of management (holding a title of vice president or higher) (the “Co-sale Transferor”), according to the following provisions:
20.1
Exercise of Right. If the Transferred Shares intended to be sold by the Co-sale Transferor are not acquired pursuant to the rights of first refusal set forth in these Articles, the Preferred Shareholders (hereinafter the “Offerees”), shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Co-sale Transferor within the ROFR Period, to require the Co-sale Transferor to provide as part of his proposed sale, that such Offeree

24


shall be given the right to participate in the sale in a pro rata proportion (the “Offeree Pro-Rata Share”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Shares covered by the sale, by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares owned by such Offeree at the time of the sale and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares owned by all Preferred Shareholders at the time of sale, on the same terms and conditions as the Co-sale Transferor. If any Offeree exercises its rights hereunder, the Co-sale Transferor must cause the purchaser of the Offered Shares (the “Buyer”) to purchase, as part of the sale agreement, the Offeree Pro Rata Share (or any part thereof chosen by such Offeree to be sold, if it gave notice with respect to less than its Pro-Rata Share), and the Co-sale Transferor shall not proceed with such sale unless such Offeree is given the right to so participate in the sale.
20.2
If an Offeree does not respond to the Offer by the end of the ROFR Period clearly stating its wish to participate in the sale, such Offeree shall be deemed to have declined waived its co sale right under this Article 20.
20.3
The Co-sale Transferor shall be entitled to sell all, or the appropriate pro rata portion (together with the participating Offerees’ Shares), as applicable, of the Offered Shares, to the Buyer at any time within ninety (90) days after the lapse of the ROFR Period. Any such Transfer shall be on not less favorable terms and conditions to the Buyer than those specified in the Offer. Any of the Co-sale Transferor’s Shares in the Company not so sold within such 90-day period shall continue to be subject to the requirements of this Article 20.
20.4
The exercise or non-exercise of the right to participate hereunder with respect to a particular sale by a Co-sale Transferor shall not adversely affect the right of the Preferred Shareholders to participate in subsequent sales by shareholders pursuant to this Article 20.
20.5
Notwithstanding the aforesaid, if any Transfer proposed to be made by shareholder, in one or more related transactions, shall result in a change in Control of the Company, then the Co-sale Transferor shall, prior to effecting such Transfer, notify the Offerees of same, and the Offerees shall be entitled to participate in such transaction(s) and effect a Transfer of all of their Securities in the Company (on an as-converted basis) in accordance with the provisions of this Article 20.
20.6
If a shareholder purports to effect a Transfer of any Securities in contravention of the provisions of these Articles (the “Defaulting Shareholder” and a “Prohibited Transfer”, respectively), then: (i) the Company shall not record the sale and Transfer in the Shareholders Register nor otherwise give any force or effect to such Prohibited Transfer, and (ii) in addition to the Company’s obligation in (i) herein, the Offerees may proceed to protect and enforce their rights herein by suit in equity or by action at law against the Defaulting Shareholder, whether for the specific performance of any provision contained herein or for an injunction against the breach of any such provision, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right of the Offerees.
20.7
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 20, for the purposes of this Article 20, reference to a Shareholder shall include the Shareholder’s Affiliates

25

Subject to the rights of the Preferred Shareholders and further subject to the provisions of Article 13.2 above and Article 36 below, the Company may, from time to time, by Ordinary Resolution:
21.1
consolidate and divide its share capital or a part thereof into shares of greater value than its existing Shares;
21.2
cancel any Shares which have not been purchased or agreed to be purchased by any Person;
21.3
by subdivision of its existing Shares, or any of them, divide the whole, or any part, of its Share capital into shares of lesser value than is fixed by these Articles, and in a manner so that with respect to the shares created as a result of the division it will be possible to grant to one or more shares a right of priority, preference or advantage with respect to dividend, capital, voting or otherwise over the remaining or similar share;
21.4
reduce its Share capital, and any fund reserved for capital redemption, in the manner that it shall deem to be desirable under the provisions of Section 287 of the Companies Law;
21.5
reclassify all or any part of its share capital, regardless if such Shares are issued or not; or
21.6
increase its Share capital, regardless of whether or not all of its Shares have been issued, or whether the Shares issued have been paid in full, by the creation of new shares, divided into shares in such nominal value, and with such preferred or deferred or other special rights (subject always to the provisions of these Articles), and subject to any conditions and restrictions with respect to Dividends, return of capital, voting or otherwise, as shall be directed by the resolution.
22.
Registered Holder
22.1
If two (2) or more Persons are registered as joint holders of a Share, they shall be jointly and severally liable for any calls or any other liability with respect to such Share.

Each Shareholder shall pay the amount called to the Company on the date and at the place prescribed in the Company's notice.

24.5
Any amount that, according to the conditions of issuance of a Share, must be paid at the time of issuance or at a fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the share or premium, shall be deemed for the purposes of these Articles to be a call for payment that was duly made.

Forfeiture of Shares
25.1
If a Shareholder fails to pay any amount payable by virtue of a call, installment of a call, or interest thereon on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Board may, at any time thereafter so long as any part of such call, installment or interest remains unpaid, forfeit all or any of the Shares in respect of which such payment was called for. Any interest which may have accrued and any expenses that were incurred as a result of such non-payment (including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs of legal proceedings) shall be added to, and shall for all purposes (including the accrual of interest thereon) constitute part of the amount payable to the Company in respect of such call.
25.2
Following the adoption of a resolution as to the forfeiture of a Shareholder's Share, a notice which specifies a date not less than fourteen (14) days from the date of the notice, on or before which the payment of the call or installment or part thereof is to be made together with interest and any expenses incurred as a result of such non-payment shall be given to such Shareholder.

fit. At any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be canceled on such terms as the Board deems fit.
25.5
A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall notwithstanding remain liable to pay, and shall promptly pay, to the Company all amounts which, at the date of forfeiture, were payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares, together with interest thereon from the time of forfeiture until actual payment at the rate prescribed above.
25.6

25.7
The Person to whom the forfeited Share may be sold shall be registered as the holder of the Share and his title to the Share shall not be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.
25.8
The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of a premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

The Board may generally create funds as it deems necessary, either those resulting from profits of the Company or from re-evaluation of property, or from premiums paid for shares or from any other source, and use them in its discretion as it deems fit so long as the creation, changes or uses of such funds does not violate any provision of the Companies Law or accepted accounting principles and practices.
44.2

The Board may use moneys credited to the capital reserve

44


liability account in any manner that these Articles or the Companies Law permit.

45.
Capitalization of Reserves
The Company may from time to time resolve at a General Meeting that any amount, investment or property not required as a source for payment of fixed preferential Dividends and (i) standing credited at that time to any fund or to any reserve liability account of the Company, including also premiums received from issuance of shares, debentures, or debenture stock of the Company, or (ii) being net profits not distributed and remaining in the Company, shall be capitalized, and that such amount shall be distributed as bonus shares, in the manner so directed by such resolution. The Board may use such investment, sum or property, according to such a resolution, for full payment of such shares of the Company's capital not issued to the Shareholders, and to issue such shares and to distribute them as fully paid shares among the Shareholders according to their pro rata right for payment of the value of the shares and their rights in the amount capitalized. The Board may also use such investment, sum or property, or any part thereof, for the full payment of the Company's capital issued and held by such Shareholders, or such investment, sum or property in any other manner permitted by such a resolution. If any difficulty shall arise with respect to such a distribution, the Board may act, and shall have all the powers and authorities, as set forth in Article 43.11 above, mutatis mutandis
