Each Offeree shall have the right to purchase a number of Offered Shares (such Offeree’s First Refusal Allocation”) equal to the total number of Offered Shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the Equity Securities of the Company held by such Offeree and the denominator of which is the total number of the Equity Securities of the Company held by all Offerees, in each case on an as-converted basis. In addition, if one or more Offerees (“Non-Electing Offerees”) declines or is deemed pursuant to Article 13(c) to have waived its Right of First Refusal, each Offeree electing to exercise its Right of First Refusal (an Electing Offeree”) shall have the right as provided in Article 11(c) to purchase all or a portion of the Offered Shares constituting the aggregate First Refusal Allocations of the Non-Electing Offerees (the Excess Offered Shares”).

If such a Transfer does not occur within such period set forth in this Article 13(e) for any reason, the restrictions provided for herein shall again become effective, and no Transfer of Shares may be made by the Transferring Shareholder thereafter without again making an offer to the holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares, Series A-2 Preferred Shares or the Notes in accordance with this Article 13.

15

The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of applicable Preferred Shares, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such notice and such surrender of the Preferred Shares to be converted, the register of members of the Company shall be updated accordingly to reflect the same, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Ordinary Shares as of such date.

All certificates evidencing such Preferred Shares shall, from and after the date of conversion, be deemed to have been cancelled and the Preferred Shares represented thereby converted into Ordinary Shares for all purposes, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender such certificates on or prior to such date. The Company shall, as soon as practicable but in any event within five (5) days after the surrender of such certificates, deliver to the holder thereof new certificate(s) representing the number of fully-paid and  non-assessable  Ordinary Shares into which such Preferred Share is entitled to be converted.

 

 

(iv)

The Company may effect the conversion of Preferred Shares in any manner available under Applicable Laws, including redesignation and reclassification of the relevant Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares, or redeeming or repurchasing the relevant Preferred Shares and applying the proceeds thereof towards payment for the new Ordinary Shares. For purposes of the repurchase or redemption, the Company may, subject to the Company being able to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business, make payments out of its capital.

 

 

(v)

No fractional Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon conversion of any Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, either (A) pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price of the applicable Preferred Share, or (B) issue one whole Ordinary Share for each fractional share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled.

 

 

(vi)

Upon conversion, all accrued but unpaid share dividends on the applicable Preferred Shares shall be paid in shares and all accrued but unpaid cash dividends on the applicable Preferred Shares shall be paid either in cash or by the issuance of a number of further Ordinary Shares equal to the value of such cash amount divided by the applicable Conversion Price, at the option of the holders of the applicable Preferred Shares.

(f)

Cessation of Certain Rights on Conversion. Subject to Article 23(d), on the date of conversion of any series of Preferred Shares to Ordinary Shares, the holder of the Preferred Shares to be converted shall cease to be entitled to any rights in respect of such Preferred Shares and accordingly his name shall be removed from the register of Members as the holder of such Preferred Shares and shall correspondingly be inserted onto the register of Members as the holder of the number of Ordinary Shares into which such Preferred Shares converts.

 

 

(g)

Ordinary Shares Resulting from Conversion. The Ordinary Shares resulting from the conversion of the Preferred Shares:

 

 

(i)

shall be credited as fully paid and non-assessable;

(ii)

The consideration per Ordinary Share received by the Company for New Securities deemed to have been issued pursuant to Article 24(c), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing

Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur as to which the other provisions of this Article 24 are not strictly applicable, but the failure to make any adjustment to the applicable Conversion Price would not fairly protect the conversion rights of the Preferred Shares in accordance with the essential intent and principles hereof, then, in each such case, the Company, in good faith, shall

(l)

Miscellaneous.

 

 

(i)

All calculations under this Article 24 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth (1/100) of a share. Upon conversion of such number of Preferred Shares, the resultant aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to each holder of Preferred Shares if not a whole number (but part or fraction of an Ordinary Share), shall be rounded up to the nearest multiple of one (1) Ordinary Share such that the resultant aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such holder of Preferred Shares shall be a whole number.

NON-RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS

 

32

No Person shall be recognized by the Company as holding any share upon any trust and the Company shall not be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognize (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future, or partial interest in any share, or any interest in any fractional part of a share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by these Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

 

LIEN ON SHARES

 

33

The Company shall have a first and paramount Lien and charge on all shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, Liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other Person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s Lien (if any) thereon. The Company’s Lien (if any) on a share shall extend to all dividends or other monies payable in respect thereof.

 

34

The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any shares on which the Company has a Lien, but no sale shall be made unless a sum in respect of which the Lien exists is presently payable, nor until the expiration of fourteen (14) days after a notice in writing stating and demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the Lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder or holders for the time being of the share, or the Person, of which the Company has noticed, entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy.

 

35

To give effect to any such sale, the Directors may authorize some Person to transfer the shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound by the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

 

36

The proceeds of such sale shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the Lien exists as is presently payable and the residue, if any, shall (subject to a like Lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the shares before the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the shares at the date of the sale.

CALL ON SHARES

 

37        (a)

The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their shares (whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of premium or otherwise) and not by the conditions of allotment thereof made payable at fixed terms, provided that no call shall be payable at less than one (1) month from the date fixed for the payment of the last preceding call, and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the specified time or times the amount called on the shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Directors may determine. A call may be made payable by installments.

 

 

(b)

A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorizing such call was passed.

 

 

(c)

The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

 

38

If a sum called in respect of a share is not paid before or on a day appointed for payment thereof, the Persons from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the sum from the day appointed for payment thereof to the time of actual payment at such rate as the Directors may determine, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of such interest either wholly or in part.

 

39

Any sum which by the terms of issue of a share becomes payable on allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium or otherwise, shall for the purposes of these Articles be deemed to be a call duly made, notified and payable on the date on which by the terms of issue the same becomes payable, and in the case of non-payment, all the relevant provisions of these Articles as to payment of interest forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

40

The Directors may, on the issue of shares, differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls or interest to be paid and the time of payment.

 

41        (a)

The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the same, all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any shares held by him, and upon all or any of the monies so advanced may (until the same would but for such advances, become payable) pay interest at a rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such sum in advance.

(b)

No such sum paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such sum to any portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such sum would, but for such payment, become presently payable.

 

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

 

42

(a) If a Member fails to pay any call or installment of a call or to make any payment required by the terms of issue on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of the call, installment or payment remains unpaid, give notice requiring payment of any part of the call, installment or payment that is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. Such notice shall name a day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen (14) days from the date of giving of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that, in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the shares in respect of which such notice was given will be liable to be forfeited.

 

(b)If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited share and not actually paid before the forfeiture.

 

(c)A forfeited share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition, the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors see fit.

 

43

A Person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which, at the date of forfeiture, were payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares together with interest thereon, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies whenever payable in respect of the shares.

 

44

A certificate in writing under the hand of one (1) Director or the Secretary of the Company that a share in the Company has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration shall be conclusive evidence of the fact stated therein as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the share. The Company may receive the consideration given for the share on any sale or disposition thereof and may execute a

transfer of the share in favor of the Person to whom the share is sold or disposed of and he shall thereupon be registered as the holder of the share and shall not be bound by the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the share.

 

45

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 nominal value of the share or by way of premium as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

REGISTRATION OF EMPOWERING INSTRUMENTS

 

46

The Company shall be entitled to charge a fee not exceeding US$l.00 on the registration of every probate, letter of administration, certificate of death or marriage, power of attorney, notice in lieu of distringas, or other instruments.

 

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

 

47

In case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased where he was the sole holder, shall be the only Persons recognized by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares, but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of any such deceased holder from any liability in respect of any shares which had been held by him solely or jointly with other Persons.

 

48

(a) Any Person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors and subject as hereinafter provided, elect either to be registered himself as holder of the share or to make such transfer of the share to such other Person nominated by him as the deceased or bankrupt Person could have made and to have such Person registered as the transferee thereof, but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before his death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.

 

(b) If the Person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered himself as the holder, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects.

A Person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of the holder (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the share, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the share, be entitled to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company; provided, however, that the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such Person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the share, and if the notice is not complied with within ninety (90) days, the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.
