REGISTER OF SHAREHOLDERS

 

8

The Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained the register of members in accordance with the Statute.

CLOSING REGISTER OF MEMBERS OR FIXING RECORD DATE

 

9

For the purpose of determining Shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or Shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of Shareholders for any other purpose, the Directors may provide that the register of members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not in any case exceed forty days. If the register of members shall be closed for the purpose of determining Shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of Shareholders the register of members shall be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding the meeting.

11

If the register of members is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of Shareholders or Shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is sent or the date on which the resolution of the Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Shareholders. When a determination of Shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of Shareholders has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES

 

12

A Shareholder shall only be entitled to a share certificate if the Directors resolve that share certificates shall be issued. Share certificates representing Shares, if any, shall be in such form as the Directors may determine. Share certificates shall be signed by one or more Directors or other person authorised by the Directors. The Directors may authorise certificates to be issued with the authorised signature(s) affixed by mechanical process. All certificates for Shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified and shall specify the Shares to which they relate. All certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be cancelled and subject to these Articles no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate representing a like number of relevant Shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled.

 

6


13

The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for Shares held jointly by more than one person and delivery of a certificate to one joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them.

 

14

If a share certificate is defaced, worn out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and on the payment of such expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating evidence, as the Directors may prescribe, and (in the case of defacement or wearing out) upon delivery of the old certificate.

REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE OF SHARES

Subject to the Statute and the other provisions in the Memorandum and these Articles (including Schedule A), the Company may issue Shares that are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Shareholder or the Company.

16

Subject to the Statute and other provisions in the Memorandum and these Articles, the Company may purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares).

 

17

The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the Statute, including out of capital.

VARIATION OF RIGHTS OF SHARES

 

18

The provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings shall apply to every class meeting of the holders of one class of Shares except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one half of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

 

19

Subject to Schedule A, the rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not in any event be deemed to be varied by (i) the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith or in priority thereto, (ii) the redemption or purchase of shares of any class or series by the Company, or (iii) the change to the director appointment rights of any shareholder of the Company.

COMMISSION ON SALE OF SHARES

 

20

The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe whether absolutely or conditionally for any Shares of the Company. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

 

7


NON RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS

 

21

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by these Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

LIEN ON SHARES

 

22

The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Shareholder (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Shareholder or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Shareholder 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 thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

 

23

The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen clear days after notice has been given to the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

 

24

To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under these Articles.

 

25

The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any residue 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

 

26

Subject to the terms of the allotment the Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen days notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

 

27

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

 

8


28

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

 

29

If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine, but the Directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.

 

30

An amount payable in respect of a Share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

 

31

The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

 

32

The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Shareholder willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Shareholder paying such amount in advance.

 

33

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

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

 

34

If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen clear days notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest, which may have accrued. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

35

If the notice is not complied with any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends or other monies declared payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

 

36

A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

 

37

A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall 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 those Shares together with interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between such person and the Company, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.

 

9


38

A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or officer of the Company that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the fact as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is disposed of shall not be bound to see to 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.

 

39

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 premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

TRANSFER AND TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

 

40

The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing and shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor (and if the Directors so require, signed by the transferee). The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the register of members. The Directors may decline to register any transfer of Shares if such transfer of Shares does not comply with the terms of any agreement between the Company and such transferring Shareholder.

 

41

If a Shareholder dies the survivor or survivors where he was a joint holder, and his legal personal representatives where he was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest. The estate of a deceased Shareholder is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, which had been jointly held by him.

 

42

Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Shareholder (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, elect either to become the holder of the Share or to have some person nominated by him as the transferee. If he elects to become the holder, he shall give notice to the Company to that effect, 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 Shareholder before his death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.

 

43

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

 

10


44

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. However, he shall not, before being registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by ownership in relation to meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the Share. If the notice is not complied with within ninety days of being received or deemed to be received as determined pursuant to the Articles, 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.

REGISTERED OFFICE

 

45

Subject to the Statute, the Company may by resolution of the Directors change the location of its registered office.

GENERAL MEETINGS

 

46

All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

 

47

The Company shall, if required by the Statute, in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. The annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint and if no other time and place is prescribed by them, it shall be held at the registered office on the second Wednesday in December of each year at ten o’clock in the morning. At these meetings the report of the Directors (if any) shall be presented.

 

48

The Company may hold an annual general meeting, but shall not (unless required by Statute) be obliged to hold an annual general meeting.

 

49

The Directors may call general meetings, and they shall on a Shareholders requisition forthwith proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company.

 

50

A Shareholders requisition is a requisition of Shareholders of the Company holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than ten percent of the outstanding capital of the Company which as at that date carries the right of voting at general meetings of the Company.

 

51

The requisition must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by the requisitionists and deposited at the registered office, and may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists.

 

52

If the Directors do not within twenty-one days from the date of the deposit of the requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held within a further twenty-one days, the requisitionists, or any of them representing more than one-half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall not be held after the expiration of three months after the expiration of the said twenty-one days.

 

53

A general meeting convened as aforesaid by requisitionists shall be convened in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings are to be convened by Directors.

 

11


NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

 

54

Written notice shall be given not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of any general meeting. Every notice shall be exclusive of the day on which it is given or deemed to be given and of the day for which it is given and shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business and shall be given in manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed by the Company, provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this regulation has been given and whether or not the provisions of the Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

 

  54.1

in the case of an annual general meeting, by all the Shareholders (or their proxies) entitled to attend and vote thereat; and

 

  54.2

in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, by a majority in number of the Shareholders (or their proxies) having a right to attend and vote at the meeting, being a majority together holding not less than eighty five percent of the outstanding Shares giving that right.

 

55

The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non receipt of notice of a meeting by, any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of that meeting.

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

 

56

No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. Unless otherwise provided by law or the Articles, two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares and sixty percent (60%) of preferred shares, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Shareholders.

 

57

A person may participate at a general meeting by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other. Participation by a person in a general meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting.

 

58

A resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed (i) in case of a Special Resolution, by all Shareholders for the time being entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings (or, being corporations, signed by their duly authorised representatives); or (ii) in case of an Ordinary Resolution, by holders of a simple majority of the voting power of the outstanding Shares of the Company, shall be as valid and effective as if the resolution had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held.

 

59

If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting or if during such a meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Shareholders, shall be dissolved and in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other day, time or such other place as the Directors may determine with notice of such meeting delivered to all Shareholders at least three (3) Business Days prior to the adjourned meeting (the “Adjourned General Meeting”) in accordance with the notice procedures hereunder and, if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, the Shareholders present shall be a quorum.

 

12


60

The chairman, if any, of the board of Directors shall preside as chairman at every general meeting of the Company, or if there is no such chairman, or if he shall not be present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the holding of the meeting, or is unwilling to act, the Directors present shall elect one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

 

61

If no Director is willing to act as chairman or if no Director is present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the Shareholders present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

 

62

The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present, (and shall if so directed by the meeting), adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any such notice.

 

63

A resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show of hands, the chairman demands a poll, or any other Shareholder or Shareholders collectively present in person or by proxy and holding at least ten percent of the outstanding Shares giving a right to attend and vote at the meeting demand a poll.

 

64

Unless a poll is duly demanded a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost or not carried by a particular majority, an entry to that effect in the minutes of the proceedings of the meeting shall be conclusive evidence of that fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

 

65

The demand for a poll may be withdrawn.

 

66

Except on a poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment, a poll shall be taken as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the general meeting at which the poll was demanded.

 

67

A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such time as the chairman of the general meeting directs, and any business other than that upon which a poll has been demanded or is contingent thereon may proceed pending the taking of the poll.

 

68

Intentionally Deleted.

VOTES OF SHAREHOLDERS

 

69

Subject to Schedule A and any rights or restrictions attached to any Shares, on a show of hands every Shareholder who (being an individual) is present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person is present by its duly authorised representative or proxy, every Shareholder shall have one vote for every Share of which he is the holder.

 

13


70

In the case of joint holders of record the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the register of members.

 

71

A Shareholder of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court, having jurisdiction in lunacy, may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his committee, receiver, curator bonis, or other person on such Shareholder’s behalf appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, curator bonis or other person may vote by proxy.

 

72

No person shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting or at any separate meeting of the holders of a class of Shares unless he is registered as a Shareholder on the record date for such meeting nor unless all calls or other monies then payable by him in respect of Shares have been paid.

 

73

No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter except at the general meeting or adjourned general meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at the meeting shall be valid. Any objection made in due time shall be referred to the chairman whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

 

74

On a poll or on a show of hands votes may be cast either personally or by proxy. A Shareholder may appoint more than one proxy or the same proxy under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting. Where a Shareholder appoints more than one proxy the instrument of proxy shall state which proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands.

 

75

A Shareholder holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of his Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing him, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting.

PROXIES

 

76

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing, be executed under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing, or, if the appointor is a corporation under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised for that purpose. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.

 

77

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited at the Office or at such other place as is specified for that purpose in the notice convening the meeting no later than the time for holding the meeting or, if the meeting is adjourned, the time for holding such adjourned meeting.

 

14


78

The instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form and may be expressed to be for a particular meeting or any adjournment thereof or generally until revoked. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to include the power to demand or join or concur in demanding a poll.

 

79

Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is given unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the registered office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which it is sought to use the proxy.

 

79A

Where a Shareholder (the “Relevant Shareholder”) appoints a proxy by an instrument in writing and the appointment is expressed to be irrevocable and is given to secure a proprietary interest of, or the performance of an obligation owed by the Relevant Shareholder to, the proxy:

(a) the instrument of proxy may not be revoked by the Relevant Shareholder without the prior written consent of the proxy while the proprietary interest exists or the obligation has not been discharged in full;

(b) the instrument of proxy will not be revoked by the Relevant Shareholder attending any meeting of Shareholder, and if the Relevant Shareholder does attend a meeting of Shareholder, the Relevant Shareholder may not exercise the voting rights attaching to the shares to which the instrument of proxy relates;

(c) only the relevant proxy may cast the vote of the Shareholder represented by such instrument of proxy (whether at a meeting (whether by way of poll or on a show of hands) or by way of signing a written resolution of the Shareholders); and

(c) a written notice from the proxy that a proprietary interest exists or an obligation has not been discharged in full will (in the absence of fraud) be conclusive evidence of that fact.

CORPORATE SHAREHOLDERS

 

80

Any corporation or other non-natural person which is a Shareholder may in accordance with its constitutional documents, or in the absence of such provision by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of Shareholders, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder.

SHARES THAT MAY NOT BE VOTED

 

81

Shares in the Company that are beneficially owned by the Company shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding Shares at any given time.

Except as otherwise provided herein or by Schedule A, the number of Directors of the Company shall be determined from time to time by the Shareholders at a general or extraordinary meeting or by written consent.    Each Director shall hold office until such Director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such Director’s earlier resignation or removal. Any Director may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company.

POWERS OF DIRECTORS

 

83

Subject to the Statute and the other provisions in the Memorandum and these Articles and to any directions given by Special Resolution, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Directors who may exercise all the powers of the Company. No alteration of the Memorandum or Articles and no such direction shall invalidate any prior act of the Directors which would have been valid if that alteration had not been made or that direction had not been given. A duly convened meeting of Directors at which a quorum is present may exercise all powers exercisable by the Directors.

 

84

All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments and all receipts for monies paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed as the case may be in such manner as the Directors shall determine by resolution.

 

85

The Directors on behalf of the Company may pay a gratuity or pension or allowance on retirement to any Director who has held any other salaried office or place of profit with the Company or to his widow or dependants and may make contributions to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or provision of any such gratuity, pension or allowance.

 

86

The Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and uncalled capital or any part thereof and to issue debentures, debenture stock, mortgages, bonds and other such securities whether outright or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.

APPOINTMENT AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

 

87

Except as otherwise provided in Schedule A, Directors shall be appointed by the Shareholders at a general or extraordinary meeting or by written consent. Appointments or elections of Directors need not be by written ballot.

 

88

16


  89.2

if he absents himself (without being represented by proxy or an alternate Director appointed by him) from three consecutive meetings of the Board of Directors without special leave of absence from the Directors, and they pass a resolution that he has by reason of such absence vacated office; or

 

  89.3

if he dies, becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; or

 

  89.4

if he is found to be or becomes of unsound mind.

PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS

 

90

Subject to the other provisions in the Memorandum and these Articles (including Schedule A), the Directors may regulate their proceedings as they think fit. Subject to the other provisions in the Memorandum and these Articles (including Schedule A), questions arising at any Board meeting shall be decided by a majority of the votes of the Directors and alternate Directors present at a meeting at which there is a quorum. A Director who is also an alternate Director shall be entitled in the absence of his appointor to a separate vote on behalf of his appointor in addition to his own vote.

 

91

A person may participate in a meeting of the Directors or committee of Directors by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other at the same time. Participation by a person in a meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the place where the chairman is at the start of the meeting.

 

92

A resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all the Directors or all the members of a committee of Directors (an alternate Director being entitled to sign such a resolution on behalf of his appointor) shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors, or committee of Directors as the case may be, duly convened and held.

 

93

A Director or alternate Director may, or other officer of the Company on the requisition of a Director or alternate Director shall, call a meeting of the Directors by at least seven days’ notice in writing to every Director and alternate Director which notice shall set forth the general nature of the business to be considered unless notice is waived by all the Directors (or their alternates) either at, before or after the meeting is held.

 

94

The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to these Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to that number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

 

95

The Directors may elect a chairman of their board and determine the period for which he is to hold office; but if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for holding the same, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

 

17


96

All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors (including any person acting as an alternate Director) shall, notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any Director or alternate Director, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and qualified to be a Director or alternate Director as the case may be.

 

97

Any non-employee Director who expects to be unable to attend a Board of Director meeting because of absence, illness or otherwise, may appoint any person to be an alternate Director to act in his stead and such appointee whilst he holds office as an alternate director shall, in the event of absence therefrom of his appointor, be entitled to attend the Board of Director meeting and to vote thereat and to do, in the place and stead of his appointor, any other act or thing that his appointor is permitted or required to do by virtue of his being a Director as if the alternate Director were the appointor, other than appointment of an alternate to himself, and he shall ipso facto vacate office if and when his appointor ceases to be a Director or removes the appointee from office. A Director but not an alternate Director may be represented at any meetings of the Board of Directors by a proxy appointed in writing by him. The proxy shall count towards the quorum and the vote of the proxy shall for all purposes be deemed to be that of the appointing Director.

PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT

 

98

A Director of the Company who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent from such action with the person acting as the chairman or secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered post to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in favour of such action.

A Director (or his alternate Director in his absence) shall be at liberty to vote in respect of any contract or transaction in which he is interested provided that the nature of the interest of any Director or alternate Director in any such contract or transaction shall be disclosed by him at or prior to its consideration and any vote thereon.

 

103

A general notice that a Director or alternate Director is a shareholder, director, officer or employee of any specified firm or company and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction with such firm or company shall be sufficient disclosure for the purposes of voting on a resolution in respect of a contract or transaction in which he has an interest, and after such general notice it shall not be necessary to give special notice relating to any particular transaction.

MINUTES

 

104

The Directors shall cause minutes to be made in books kept for the purpose of all appointments of officers made by the Directors, all proceedings at meetings of the Company or the holders of any class of Shares and of the Directors, and of committees of Directors including the names of the Directors or alternate Directors present at each meeting.

105

The Directors may delegate any of their powers to any committee consisting of one or more Directors. They may also delegate to any managing director or any Director holding any other executive office such of their powers as they consider desirable to be exercised by him provided that an alternate Director may not act as managing director and the appointment of a managing director shall be revoked forthwith if he ceases to be a Director. Any such delegation may be made subject to any conditions the Directors may impose, and either collaterally with or to the exclusion of their own powers and may be revoked or altered. Subject to any such conditions, the proceedings of a committee of Directors shall be governed by the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors, so far as they are capable of applying.

 

106

Any such appointment may be made subject to any conditions the Directors may impose, and either collaterally with or to the exclusion of their own powers and may be revoked or altered. Subject to any such conditions, the proceedings of any such committee, local board or agency shall be governed by the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors, so far as they are capable of applying.

108

The Directors may by power of attorney or otherwise appoint any company, firm, person or body of persons, whether nominated directly or indirectly by the Directors, to be the attorney or authorised signatory of the Company for such purpose and with such powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the Directors under these Articles) and for such period and subject to such conditions as they may think fit, and any such powers of attorney or other appointment may contain such provisions for the protection and convenience of persons dealing with any such attorneys or authorised signatories as the Directors may think fit and may also authorise any such attorney or authorised signatory to delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions vested in him.

 

109

Subject to other provisions of these Articles (including the Schedule A), the Directors may appoint such officers as they consider necessary on such terms, at such remuneration and to perform such duties, and subject to such provisions as to disqualification and removal as the Directors may think fit. Unless otherwise specified in the terms of his appointment an officer may be removed by resolution of the Directors or Shareholders.

ALTERNATE DIRECTORS

 

110

Any Director (other than an alternate Director) may by writing appoint any other Director, or any other person willing to act, to be an alternate Director and by writing may remove from office an alternate Director so appointed by him.

 

111

An alternate Director shall be entitled to receive notice of all meetings of Directors and of all meetings of committees of Directors of which his appointor is a member, to attend and vote at every such meeting at which the Director appointing him is not personally present, and generally to perform all the functions of his appointor as a Director in his absence.

20


REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS

 

116

The remuneration to be paid to the Directors, if any, shall be such remuneration as the Directors shall determine. The Directors shall also be entitled to be paid all travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in connection with their attendance at meetings of Directors or committees of Directors, or general meetings of the Company, or separate meetings of the holders of any class of Shares or debentures of the Company, or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company, or to receive a fixed allowance in respect thereof as may be determined by the Directors, or a combination partly of one such method and partly the other.

 

117

The Directors may by resolution approve additional remuneration to any Director for any services other than his ordinary routine work as a Director. Any fees paid to a Director who is also counsel or solicitor to the Company, or otherwise serves it in a professional capacity shall be in addition to his remuneration as a Director.

SEAL

 

118

The Company may, if the Directors so determine, have a Seal. The Seal shall only be used by the authority of the Directors or of a committee of the Directors authorised by the Directors. Every instrument to which the Seal has been affixed shall be signed by at least one person who shall be either a Director or some officer or other person appointed by the Directors for the purpose.

 

119

The Company may have for use in any place or places outside the Cayman Islands a duplicate Seal or Seals each of which shall be a facsimile of the common Seal of the Company and, if the Directors so determine, with the addition on its face of the name of every place where it is to be used.

 

120

A Director or officer, representative or attorney of the Company may without further authority of the Directors affix the Seal over his signature alone to any document of the Company required to be authenticated by him under seal or to be filed with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere wheresoever.

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND RESERVE

 

121

Subject to the Statute, Schedule A and the other provisions in the Memorandum and these Articles, the Directors may declare dividends and distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the dividends or distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. No dividend or distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, or out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by the Statute.

 

122

The Directors may deduct from any dividend or distribution payable to any Shareholder all sums of money (if any) then payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

 

123

The Directors may declare that any dividend or distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Shareholders upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Shareholders and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Directors.

 

21


124

Any dividend, distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the register of members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders.

 

125

No dividend or distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

 

126

Any dividend which cannot be paid to a Shareholder and/or which remains unclaimed after six months from the date of declaration of such dividend may, in the discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the dividend shall remain as a debt due to the Shareholder. Any dividend which remains unclaimed after a period of six years from the date of declaration of such dividend shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

 

126A

Notwithstanding anything contained in these Articles, the Directors shall not deduct from any dividend or distribution payable to any Chargee any money (if any) payable by any Shareholder to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

CAPITALISATION

 

127

The Directors may capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution and to appropriate such sum to Shareholders in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst them had the same been a distribution of profits by way of dividend and to apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit for the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Shareholders concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Shareholders interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all concerned.

 

22


BOOKS OF ACCOUNT

 

128

The Directors shall cause proper books of account to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company. Such books of account must be retained for a minimum period of five years from the date on which they are prepared. Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

 

129

In addition to the Company’s contractual rights, the Directors shall from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Shareholders not being Directors and no Shareholder (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by Statute or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting.

 

130

The Directors may from time to time cause to be prepared and to be laid before the Company in general meeting profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, group accounts (if any) and such other reports and accounts as may be required by law.

AUDIT

 

131

132

Every Auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and officers of the Company such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the Auditor.

 

133

Auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their tenure of office at the next annual general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an ordinary company, and at the next extraordinary general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an exempted company, and at any other time during their term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Shareholders.

Any notice, if posted from one country to another, is to be sent via FedEx or a similar internationally recognized carrier.

 

23


135

Where a notice is sent by courier, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by delivery of the notice to a courier company, and shall be deemed to have been received on the third day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays) following the day on which the notice was delivered to the courier. Where a notice is sent by post, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre paying and posting a letter containing the notice, and shall be deemed to have been received on the fifth day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays) following the day on which the notice was posted. Where a notice is sent by cable, telex or fax, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing and sending such notice and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was transmitted. Where a notice is given by e-mail service shall be deemed to be effected by transmitting the e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the intended recipient and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was sent, and it shall not be necessary for the receipt of the e-mail to be acknowledged by the recipient.

 

136

A notice may be given by the Company to the person or persons which the Company has been advised are entitled to a Share or Shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder in the same manner as other notices which are required to be given under these Articles and shall be addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

 

137

Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner hereinbefore authorised to every person shown as a Shareholder in the register of members on the record date for such meeting except that in the case of joint holders the notice shall be sufficient if given to the joint holder first named in the register of members and every person upon whom the ownership of a Share devolves by reason of his being a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy of a Shareholder of record where the Shareholder of record but for his death or bankruptcy would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting, and no other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.

INDEMNITY

 

138

Every Director, agent or officer of the Company shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permissible under the law against any liability incurred by him as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out his functions other than such liability (if any) that he may incur by his own actual fraud or wilful default. No such Director, agent or officer shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage in carrying out his functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or wilful default of such Director, agent or officer. References in this Article to actual fraud or wilful default mean a finding to such effect by a competent court in relation to the conduct of the relevant party.

FINANCIAL YEAR

 

139

Unless the Directors otherwise prescribe, the financial year of the Company shall end on 31st December in each year and, following the year of incorporation, shall begin on 1st January in each year.

If the Company is exempted as defined in the Statute, it shall, subject to the provisions of the Statute and the Memorandum and with the approval of a Special Resolution, have the power to register by way of continuation as a body corporate under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands and to be deregistered in the Cayman Islands.

2.3    Observer Rights. Each of SVF, Tiger, Yunfeng, CMC, Eastern Bell, All-Stars, Genesis, and Hillhouse, as long as such Investor holds two percent (2%) or more of the Shares on a fully-diluted and as converted basis, shall be entitled to appoint a representative (each, an “Observer”) to attend meetings of the Board and, if any Investor who is entitled to appoint director(s) to a Subsidiary Board has in fact appointed a director to a Subsidiary Board, each Observer shall be entitled to attend meetings of such Subsidiary Board, in each case, in a nonvoting observer capacity, and the Company shall and, if applicable, cause the relevant Subsidiary Board to, give such Observer copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its Directors or its Subsidiary Board’s directors (as the case may be) at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such Directors or directors (as the case may be); provided, however, that such Observer shall agree to hold in confidence and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to all information so provided; and, provided further, that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such Observer from any meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting would prejudice the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, or result in disclosure of trade secrets or if such Investor or its Observer or any Affiliate of such Investor is in breach of Section 15.1 of the Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Observer Rights”).

3.    Preemptive Rights

3.1    Restrictions. Subject to Section 4.9(iii), the Company shall not issue or sell any New Securities of any type or class to any Person (the “Proposed Recipient”) unless the Company has first offered to the holders of the Preferred Shares (collectively, the “PR Holders” and each, a “PR Holder”) the right to purchase such PR Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such issuance (the “Preemptive Rights”) and the right to oversubscribe if any other PR Holder elects not to purchase or not to fully purchase its Pro Rata Share of such New Securities (the “Oversubscription Rights”), payable solely in cash, equal to the price per share to be paid by the Proposed Recipient and on the same terms and conditions as are offered to the Proposed Recipient. For the purpose of this Section 3, each PR Holder’s Pro Rata Share shall be equal the number of the New Securities (rounded to the nearest whole share) proposed to be issued, multiplied by a fraction, which equals the number of Class A Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted and fully-diluted basis) held by such PR Holder divided by the aggregate number of all Class A Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted and fully-diluted basis) held by all the Shareholders immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities giving rise to the Preemptive Rights.

3.2    Exercise of Rights.

(i)    Exercise of Preemptive Rights. Not less than fifteen (15) Business Days before a proposed issuance of New Securities (a “Proposed Issuance”), the Company shall deliver to each PR Holder a written notice (the “Issuance Notice”) of the Proposed Issuance setting forth (i) the number, type and terms of the New Securities to be issued, (ii) the consideration to be received by the Company in connection with the Proposed Issuance, and (iii) the identity of the Proposed Recipients. Within fifteen (15) Business Days following the receipt of the Issuance Notice (the “Preemption Period”), each PR Holder electing to exercise its Preemptive Rights (each, a “Preemption Participating Holder”) shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of such Preemption Participating Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the number of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Preemption Participating Holder’s Pro Rata Share, unless otherwise provided herein). The failure by any PR Holder to give such notice within the Preemption Period shall be deemed a waiver by such PR Holder of its Preemptive Rights with respect to such Proposed Issuance.

(ii)    Exercise of Oversubscription Rights. If any PR Holder fails to exercise or fails to fully exercise its Preemptive Rights pursuant to this Section 3.2(i), within five (5) days after the expiration of the Preemption Period, the Company shall deliver to each Preemption Participating Holder that has fully exercised its Preemptive Rights a written notice (the “Oversubscription Notice”) setting forth the number of the New Securities for which no Preemptive Rights have been exercised, and for which each such Preemption Participating Holder shall have the oversubscription right described in this Section 3.2(ii) (the “Oversubscription Right”). Within fifteen (15) Business Days following the receipt of the Oversubscription Notice (the “Oversubscription Period”), each of such Preemption Participating Holders may notify the Company in writing of the number of the additional New Securities available for subscription it proposes to purchase (the “Additional Number”). If, as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities available for purchase, the Additional Number to be purchased by each of such Preemption Participating Holders shall be reduced by the Company to that number which shall be equal to the lesser of (a) the Additional Number specified by each Preemption Participating Holder, and (b) the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of the remaining New Securities available for oversubscription by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by such Preemption Participating Holder and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by all of such Preemption Participating Holders.

3.3    Sales by the Company. For a period of ninety (90) days following the expiration of the Preemption Period or the Oversubscription Period (as the case may be), the Company may issue the New Securities with respect to which the Preemptive Rights or the Oversubscription Rights under this Section 3 were not exercised or not fully exercised, at a price and upon terms not more favorable to the Proposed Recipient thereof than specified in the Issuance Notice. In the event the Company has not completed the sale of such New Securities to the Proposed Recipient(s) within such ninety (90)-day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first again offering such securities to the PR Holders in the manner provided in this Section 3.

3.4    Termination of Preemptive Rights. The Preemptive Rights provided in this Section 3 shall terminate upon the consummation of a Qualified IPO or any other initial public offering involving any of the Group Companies.

4.    Transfer Restrictions.

4.1    Sale of Ordinary Shares. The Founders and any other holder of Ordinary Shares (each, a “Selling Ordinary Shareholder”) shall not, from the date hereof to the consummation of a Qualified IPO, directly or indirectly Transfer any Equity Securities held by them except with the consent of the Majority Series A Preferred Holders and subject to the right of first refusal of the Company, the Management Founder and the ROFR Holders set out in Section 4.3, Section 4.4 and Section 4.5.

The Company covenants to use its best efforts and each other Shareholder covenants to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions necessary or reasonably desirable to consummate the aforementioned Transfer by the Selling Ordinary Shareholder, including, if applicable, voting all of its Equity Securities or executing proxies or written consents, as the case may be, in favor of or approving such Transfer, and waiving any right of first refusal, transfer restrictions and any other rights that it might have under the Shareholders’ Agreement, these Articles or any Applicable Law in respect of such Transfer.

4.3    Right of First Refusal of the Company. Each Shareholder (including its successors and permitted assignees) (the “Selling Shareholder”) proposing to make a Transfer of any Equity Securities of the Company (the “Proposed Transfer”) must first deliver a written notice to the Company no later than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the consummation of such Proposed Transfer (the “First Transfer Notice”). The First Transfer Notice shall contain the material terms and conditions of the Proposed Transfer, including a description of the Equity Securities to be Transferred (the “Offered Securities”) that such Selling Shareholder proposes to Transfer and the identity of the prospective transferee. The Company shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Shareholder, within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the First Transfer Notice (the “First Refusal Period”), to elect to purchase all or any part of the Offered Securities, at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the First Transfer Notice. If the purchase price in the First Transfer Notice includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be determined by the Board in good faith.

4.4    Right of First Refusal of the Management Founder. To the extent that the Company has not exercised its rights of first refusal to purchase all of the Offered Securities as specified in Section 4.3 above, the Selling Shareholder shall secondly deliver a written notice to the Management Founder (the “Second Transfer Notice”) within five (5) calendar days after the expiration of the First Refusal Period, which shall set forth the price and other material terms and conditions of the Proposed Transfer, including a description of the Offered Securities, the identity of the prospective transferee and the number of the Offered Securities not being purchased by the Company. The Management Founder shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Shareholder and the Company, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of the Second Transfer Notice (the “Second Refusal Period”), to elect to purchase all or any part of the remaining Offered Securities, at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Second Transfer Notice.

 

Sch. A-16


4.5    Right of First Refusal of ROFR Holder. In the event that the Selling Shareholder is a Selling Ordinary Shareholder, (i) to the extent that the Company or the Management Founder has not exercised their respective rights of first refusal to purchase all of the Offered Securities as specified in Section 4.3 and Section 4.4 respectively above, the Selling Ordinary Shareholder shall deliver a written notice (the “Third Transfer Notice”) within five (5) calendar days after the expiration of the Second Refusal Period to each holder of the Preferred Shares (collectively, the “ROFR Holders” and each, a “ROFR Holder”), which shall set forth the price and other material terms and conditions of the Proposed Transfer, including a description of the Offered Securities, the identity of the prospective transferee and the number of the Offered Securities not being purchased by the Company and the Management Founder. Each ROFR Holder shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Selling Ordinary Shareholder, the Company and each other ROFR Holder, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of the Third Transfer Notice (the “Third Refusal Period”), to elect to purchase all or any part of its pro rata share of the remaining Offered Securities, at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Third Transfer Notice. Each ROFR Holder’s pro rata share of the remaining Offered Securities shall be equal to the number of the remaining Offered Securities (rounded to the nearest whole share), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class A Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by such ROFR Holder on the date of the Third Transfer Notice and denominator of which shall be the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted and fully-diluted basis) held by all the ROFR Holders on the date of the Third Transfer Notice; and (ii) to the extent that any ROFR Holder does not exercise its right of first refusal to the full extent of its pro rata share of the Offered Securities, the Selling Ordinary Shareholder shall deliver written notice (the “Fourth Transfer Notice”) within five (5) calendar days after the expiration of the Third Refusal Period to each ROFR Holder that elected to purchase its entire pro rata share of the remaining Offered Securities (each, an “Exercising Holder”), which shall set forth the final remaining Offered Securities (the “Final Remaining Offered Securities”) not purchased as of the date of the Fourth Transfer Notice. Each Exercising Holder shall have a right of re-allotment such that such Exercising Holder may exercise an additional right to purchase its pro rata share of such Final Remaining Offered Securities by notifying the Selling Ordinary Shareholder, the Company and all other ROFR Holders in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of the Fourth Transfer Notice (the “Additional Refusal Period”). Each Exercising Holder’s pro rata share of the Final Remaining Offered Securities shall be equal to the number of the Final Remaining Offered Securities (rounded to the nearest whole share), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class A Ordinary Shares (calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) held by such Exercising Holder on the date of the Fourth Transfer Notice and denominator of which shall be the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares (calculated on an as-converted and fully-diluted basis) held by all the Exercising Holders on the date of the Fourth Transfer Notice. The Selling Ordinary Shareholder shall promptly calculate each Exercising Holder’s pro rata share of the Final Remaining Offered Securities and notify each Exercising Holder in writing of such pro rata share. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.5 shall not apply to any Transfer of Preferred Shares.

4.6    Right to Transfer. To the extent the Company, the Management Founder and the ROFR Holders do not elect to purchase or to participate in the Transfer of the Offered Securities subject to the First Transfer Notice, the Second Transfer Notice, the Third Transfer Notice and the Fourth Transfer Notice (as the case may be), the Selling Shareholder may, not later than one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days following delivery to the Company, the Management Founder and each of the ROFR Holders of the Third Transfer Notice (as the case may be) (such period may be extended for an additional period no longer than six (6) months to accommodate any required approvals by Governmental Authority), conclude a Transfer of the Offered Securities covered by the First Transfer Notice, the Second Transfer Notice. the Third Transfer Notice or the Fourth Transfer Notice (as the case may be) but not elected to be purchased by the Company, the Management Founder or the ROFR Holders pursuant to Section 4.3, Section 4.4 and Section 4.5, which in each case, shall be on terms and conditions that are no less favorable to such Selling Shareholder than those set forth in the First Transfer Notice. Any proposed Transfer on terms and conditions which are less favorable to such Selling Shareholder than those described in the First Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed Transfer of any Offered Securities by the Selling Shareholder, shall again be subject to the right of first refusal of the Company and the ROFR Holders (if applicable) and shall require compliance by the Selling Shareholder with the procedures described in Section 4.3 to Section 4.5 (only if the Selling Shareholder is a Selling Ordinary Shareholder).

4.7    Exempt Transfers. Subject to Section 4.8, the provisions set forth in Section 4 shall not apply (a) in the case of any Selling Ordinary Shareholder that is a natural person, any Transfer of not more than ten percent (10%) of the Equity Securities of the Company held by such Selling Ordinary Shareholder to any custodian or trustee for the account of the Selling Ordinary Shareholder or his or her parents, siblings, children, grandchildren or spouse for any estate planning purposes; or (b) any Transfer of Equity Securities of the Company by any Selling Shareholder to any of its Affiliates (each transferee pursuant to the foregoing sub-clauses (a) and (b), a “Permitted Transferee”); provided that any such Permitted Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by these Articles in place of the relevant transferor; provided, further, in case of sub-clause (a) above, such Selling Shareholder shall remain liable for any breach by such Permitted Transferee of any provision hereunder. Following any Transfer to a Permitted Transferee, in the event that the relevant Permitted Transferee under clause (b) above ceases to be an Affiliate of the Selling Shareholder, the Equity Securities of the Company held by such Permitted Transferee shall, and the Selling Shareholder shall cause such Permitted Transferee to, immediately Transfer all Equity Securities of the Company held by it back to the Selling Shareholder, and pending such Transfer, all voting rights, information rights, rights to distributions and all other rights attached to such Equity Securities of the Company held by such Permitted Transferee shall be suspended.

4.8    No Transfer to Competitors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the holders of Series A-15 Preferred Shares and the holders of Series A-16 Preferred Shares agree not to Transfer any Series A-15 Preferred Shares, Series A-16 Preferred Shares or any Class A Ordinary Shares upon conversion of any Series A-15 Preferred Shares or Series A-16 Preferred Shares to any of the restricted transferees of the Company as set forth in Exhibit E at any time after the date hereof.

4.9    Prohibited Transfers.

(i)    Each of the Selling Shareholders agrees not to circumvent or otherwise avoid the Transfer restrictions or intent thereof set forth in this Section 4, whether by holding the Equity Securities of the Company indirectly through another Person or by causing or effecting, directly or indirectly, the Transfer or issuance of any Equity Securities of the Company by any such Person. Any attempt by a Selling Shareholder to effect a Transfer in violation of this Section 4 shall be void and ineffective for any and all purposes and shall not confer on any transferee or purported transferee any rights whatsoever. The Company hereby agrees it will not effect such a Transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such Equity Securities.

 

Sch. A-18


(ii)    Unless expressly permitted under any of the Transaction Documents, (a) each Founder shall not, and shall not cause or permit any other Person (including, its Permitted Transferees) to, directly or indirectly, Transfer through one or a series of transactions any equity interest held or Controlled by him in any Key Subsidiary to any Person. Any Transfer in violation of this Section 4.9(ii) shall be void and each Key Subsidiary hereby agrees it will not effect such a Transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such equity interest, and (b) each Key Subsidiary shall not, and each Founder shall not cause or permit each Key Subsidiary to, issue to any Person any equity interest of such Key Subsidiary or any options or warrants for, or any other securities exchangeable for or convertible into, such equity interest of such Key Subsidiary.

So long as IFC or AMC Funds holds any Shares, the Company further undertakes that none of the individuals or entities named on the above lists will be registered as a shareholder of the Company on the register of members of the Company. For the purpose of this Clause, “World Bank Listing of Ineligible Firms” means the list accessible at http://www.worldbank.org/debarr, or any successor website location, as updated from time to time, of persons or entities ineligible to be awarded a World Bank Group-financed contract or otherwise sanctioned by the World Bank Group sanctions board for the periods indicated on the list due to the violation of the fraud or corruption related provisions of the World Bank Group anticorruption guidelines and policies.

4.10    Legend.

(i)    Each certificate representing the Shares (other than the Shares registered in the name of IFC, AMC Funds and/or their respective Affiliates) shall be endorsed with the following legend:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT.

THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THE FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT AND THE FIFTH AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF THE COMPANY, AND ITS AMENDMENTS FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”

(ii)    Each Shareholder (other than IFC and AMC Funds) and the Company agrees that the Company may instruct its transfer agent to impose transfer restrictions on the Shares represented by certificates bearing the legend referred to in Section 4.10(i) above to enforce the provisions of these Articles and the Company agrees to promptly do so. The legend shall be removed upon termination of the provisions of this Section 4.10.

5.    Drag-along Right.

5.1    Drag-Along Sale.

(i)    Subject to Section 5.2, if any of the Shareholders (the “Dragging Shareholders”) proposes to Transfer whether through a single transaction or a series of related transactions, all of their Equity Securities of the Company which would constitute a Change of Control reflecting the valuation of the Company implying a per share price of the Company’s Shares on an as-converted basis (as adjusted for any Recapitalizations) of no less than 150% of the Series A-16 Original Purchase Price in such transaction (such Transfer pursuant to this Section 5.1, the “Drag-Along Sale”), so long as the Requisite Shareholders have approved the terms and conditions of such Drag-Along Sale, the Dragging Shareholders may require all other Shareholders (the “Dragged Shareholders”) to participate in such Drag-Along Sale in accordance with this Section 5.1, subject to the Dragging Shareholders complying with their obligations in this Section 5.1. Under such circumstances, the provisions under Section 4 above shall not apply.

(ii)    Within five (5) calendar days after entering into any binding agreement for the Drag-Along Sale (the “Sale Agreement”), the Dragging Shareholders shall deliver a written notice (the “Tag Notice”) to other Shareholders (the “Tag Holder”) stating (a) the name and address of the proposed transferee(s) for the Drag-Along Sale (the “Tag Transferee”), (b) the number of Equity Securities to be Transferred, (c) the expected date of consummation of the proposed Drag-Along Sale, (d) a representation that the Tag Transferee has been informed of the Tag-Along Right (as defined below) and (e) a representation that no consideration is being provided to any Dragging Shareholder that is not reflected in the price to be paid to such Tag Holder (if it exercises the Tag-Along Right). Such Tag Notice shall be accompanied by true and complete copies of all agreements (including the Sale Agreement) between the Dragging Shareholders and the Tag Transferee regarding the proposed Drag-Along Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this Section 5, the Shareholders who have a Tag-Along Right are the same Shareholders who may be subject to the Drag Notice.

(iii)    The Dragging Shareholders may, within five (5) calendar days after the date of the Tag Notice, by delivering a notice in writing (a “Drag Notice”) on each of the Dragged Shareholders, require each Dragged Shareholder to transfer all of its Equity Securities of the Company registered in its name (the “Dragged Shares”) in such Drag-Along Sale at the price set out in Section 5.1(iv) on the date indicated in the Drag Notice as being the date of completion of the Sale Agreement (the “Drag Completion Date”), being not less than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of the Drag Notice, and on the terms set out in this Section 5.1. If the Drag-Along Sale contemplated in the Sale Agreement is not completed on or prior to the Drag Completion Date, the Drag Notice shall lapse.

(iv)    The price for each Dragged Share shall: (a) be equal to the highest consideration offered for each Equity Security in the Company in the Sale Agreement; (b) be in the same form as that offered for each Equity Security in the Company in the Sale Agreement; and (c) shall be paid at the same time as the consideration is payable under the Sale Agreement (or, if later, on the Drag Completion Date) and shall be subject to the same payment terms.

 

Sch. A-20


(v)    For the avoidance of doubt, all Dragged Shareholders obligations under this Section 5.1 to Transfer the Dragged Shares shall apply regardless of whether the Dragged Shares are of the same class or type of Equity Securities of the Company which the Dragging Shareholders propose to Transfer, provided that, to the extent such a difference in class or type exists, the consideration payable to the Dragged Shareholders for the Dragged Shares shall be calculated as if all Equity Securities of the Company held by the applicable Dragging Shareholders and the Dragged Shareholders which will be subject to a Transfer under this Section 5.1 (assuming the Dragging Shareholders exercise their drag-along rights in full) had been converted into Class A Ordinary Shares on the date immediately prior to the date of the Drag Notice (to the extent not already in the form of Class A Ordinary Shares) at the conversion price which would be applicable on such date had such conversion occurred on such date.

(vi)    Any Transfer by a Dragged Shareholder shall be made on substantially the same terms and conditions as described in the Sale Agreement. However, the Dragged Shareholders shall not be required to make any representation or warranty to the proposed transferee(s), other than as to good title to any Dragged Shares, absence of liens with respect to such Dragged Shares, customary representations and warranties concerning the Dragged Shareholder’s power and authority to undertake the proposed Transfer and the validity and enforceability of the Dragged Shareholder’s obligations in connection with it. If any or all Dragged Shareholders are required to provide any indemnity under the Sale Agreement, each Dragged Shareholder’s liability under such indemnity shall be several only and limited in amount to the proportion of its Dragged Shares that bears to the total number of Dragged Shares that are the subject of the Sale Agreement.

(vii)    The foregoing provisions of Section 5.1(i) through 5.1(vi) shall not apply to the extent that the price, in cash or cash equivalents, for each Dragged Share does not represent a fair market price for an arm’s length sale as determined by an independent expert, or is not in cash or cash equivalents.

(viii)    The obligations under this Section 5 shall be terminated upon the consummation of a Qualified IPO or any other initial public offering involving any of the Group Companies.

5.2    Exempted Drag.

(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.1, the Company, each Founder, IFC and AMC Funds confirm and agree that in the event the Company intends to take any action that authorizes or undertakes any Change of Control, pursuant to which, (i) not all of the Preferred Shares then held by IFC and AMC Funds are purchased or redeemed in cash and/or listed freely tradeable securities or (ii) the Person(s) to which such asset or securities of the Company or with which the Group Companies are to merge, consolidate or amalgamate in such a Change of Control is a Related Party (in each case, a “Special Sale Event), the Company shall deliver a prior written notice to IFC and AMC Funds (the “Special Sale Notice”) for approval.

 

Sch. A-21


(ii)    Within ten (10) Business Days upon the receipt of the Special Sale Notice (the “IFC/AMC Funds Notice Period”), IFC and AMC Funds shall provide a definitive written response to the Company that either (a) approves the Special Sale Event, or (b) reject (and including reasonable details of the reasons for such rejection) the Special Sale Event, in which event, (x) IFC and AMC Funds shall use their best efforts to collaborate with the Company and other Shareholders to discuss in good faith alternatives that help effect and achieve the goal of such relevant Change of Control, and, (y) in the event such alternative proves to be unfeasible or impracticable, the Company shall purchase and redeem, or cause to be purchased or redeemed for fair market value as agreed between the Company and IFC and AMC Funds, all of the Equity Securities of the Company then held by IFC and AMC Funds in cash and/or listed freely tradeable securities (“IFC/AMC Funds Exit Consideration”) at the same time as (and conditional upon) the closing of the Special Sale Event. The IFC/AMC Funds Exit Consideration shall be approved by Majority Series A Preferred Holders in accordance with these Articles, provided that IFC and AMC Funds shall refrain from voting or be deemed to have abstained from voting. For the avoidance of doubt, approval for the Special Sale Event shall not be withheld by IFC or AMC Funds in the event that the Company has agreed to purchase and redeem, or cause to be purchased or redeemed, all of the Equity Securities of the Company then held by IFC and AMC Funds in cash and/or listed freely tradeable securities at the same time as (and conditional upon) the closing of the Special Sale Event; furthermore, any action taken by the Company pursuant this Section 5.2(ii) shall not in any event disproportionately and adversely affect other holders of Preferred Shares as compared to IFC or AMC Funds; furthermore, in the event IFC or AMC Funds fails to provide such definitive written response within the IFC/AMC Funds Notice Period, IFC or AMC Funds shall be deemed to have consented to the Special Sale Event and the Company and the Founders shall have the right to proceed with the Special Sale Event. For the purpose of this Section 5.2, “Related Party” means any Person (1) that holds a material interest in any Group Company; (2) in which any Group Company holds a material interest; (3) that is otherwise an Affiliate of the Company or any Person described in sub-paragraph (1) above; (4) who serves (or has within the past twelve (12) months served) as a director, officer or employee of the Company; or (5) who is a member of the family of any individual included in any of the foregoing. For the purpose of this definition, “material interest” shall mean a direct or indirect ownership of shares representing at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding voting power or equity of any Group Company.

5.3    Tag Along Right. If the Dragging Shareholders do not deliver the Drag Notice to any Tag Holders within ten (10) calendar days after entering into the Sale Agreement, such Tag Holder shall have the right (the “Tag-Along Right”) but not the obligation to require the Tag Transferee in a Drag Sale to purchase from such Tag Holder and its Affiliates, for the same consideration that would be payable to such Tag Holder had it been a Dragged Shareholder, up to all of the Equity Securities of the Company held by such Tag Holder and its Affiliates. The Tag-Along Right shall be exercisable by the Tag Holder by delivering a written notice of exercise of the Tag-Along Right to the Dragging Shareholders within ten (10) calendar days after the delivery of the Tag Notice specifying the number of Equity Securities of the Company (the “Tag Securities”) with respect to which it has elected to exercise the Tag-Along Right. The terms and conditions applicable to the Transfer by the Tag Holder pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be the same as those applicable to a Dragged Shareholder pursuant to Section 5.2. If any Tag Holder has properly elected to exercise the Tag-Along Right, the number of Equity Securities (calculated on as-converted basis) proposed to be Transferred by each Dragging Shareholder shall be reduced by a number equal to (i) the number of Tag Securities (on an as-converted basis) multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Equity Securities (on an as-converted basis) proposed to be Transferred by such Dragging Shareholder and the denominator of which is the total number of Equity Securities (on an as-converted basis) proposed to be transferred by all of the Dragging Shareholders. If any Tag Holder has properly elected to exercise the Tag-Along Right and the Tag Transferee fails to purchase the Equity Securities from such Tag Holder, the Dragging Shareholder(s) shall not consummate the Drag-Along Sale, and if purported to be made, such Drag-Along Sale shall be void.

9.2    Series A-16 Redemption Right . If the general meeting of the Company has approved the Company to carry out an IPO and the pre-money valuation of the Company of such IPO may not meet the Company’s pre-money valuation standard of the Company a Qualified IPO, without prejudice to its General Redemption Right, each holder of the Series A-16 Preferred Shares who does not vote for such IPO in the general meeting shall have the right to send a written request to the Company (the “Series A-16 Redemption Request”) within 30 days after its receipt of the result of such general meeting to request the Company to redeem any or all of its outstanding Series A-16 Preferred Shares (the “Series A-16 Redemption Right”) in accordance with the terms and conditions under this Section 9. If after the general meeting of the Company has approved the Company to carry out an IPO (a Qualified IPO or otherwise), the Company subsequently becomes aware that the IPO it will complete may not meet the Company’s pre-money valuation standard of the requirements in the IPO plan as approved by the general meeting, the Board shall as soon as practically possible notify all shareholders of such information in writing and seek the consent of the Requisite Shareholders to an amended IPO plan (the “Non-qualified IPO Notice”). If the amended IPO plan contemplates an IPO that may not meet the Company’s pre-money valuation standard of a Qualified IPO, any holder of Series A-16 Preferred Shares shall have the right to, within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of the Non-qualified IPO Notice, send a written request to the Company to request the Company to redeem any or all of its outstanding Series A-16 Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions under this Section 9.

9.9    Insufficient Funds of the Redemption Price.

(i)    If the Company fails to pay in full all the Redemption Price, the IFC/AMC Funds Redemption Price or the SVF Special Redemption Price (as the case may be) with respect to each Redemption Share, the IFC/AMC Funds Redemption Share, the SVF Special Redemption Share or the Permira Redemption Shares (as the case may be) at a Redemption Date, IFC/AMC Funds Redemption Date or SVF Special Redemption Date (as the case may be) because its assets or funds which are legally available on such date are insufficient or for any other reason, or if the Company is otherwise prohibited by Applicable Laws from making such redemption, (a) the Company shall, and each Shareholder shall approve the Company to, use its best efforts to increase the assets and funds which are legally available and to alleviate any other reason (including selling its assets and taking all other actions permitted under Applicable Law) and (b) those assets or funds which are legally available (the “Redemption Funds”) shall be paid and applied on the Redemption Date, IFC/AMC Funds Redemption Date or SVF Special Redemption Date (as the case may be) in the following order and manner:

(A)    If the holders of Series A-16 Preferred Shares exercised the Redemption Right (regardless of whether they are the Redemption Requesting Holders or are tagging along with other Redemption Requesting Holders, including SVF in the event that SVF exercises the SVF Redemption Right under Section 9.7 for the Series A-16 Preferred Shares held by it, and including that Permira exercises the Tagged Redemption Right under Section 9.8 for the Series A-16 Preferred Shares held by Permira), the Redemption Funds shall first be distributed ratably among holders of Series A-16 Preferred Shares in accordance with the number of Class A Ordinary Shares held by such holders (calculated on an as-converted basis) to pay for an amount up to the Preferred Redemption Amount for each Series A-16 Preferred Share.

9.10    Termination of Redemption Rights. The Redemption Rights provided in this Section 9 shall be terminated upon the consummation of a Qualified IPO or any other initial public offering involving any of the Group Companies.

10.    Conversion Right. The holders (the “CR Holders”) of the Preferred Shares (the “CR Shares”) shall have the following rights described below with respect to the conversion of such CR Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares.

10.1    Optional Conversion.

(i)    Each CR Holder shall be entitled to convert any or all of its CR Shares at any time, without the payment of any additional consideration, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Class A Ordinary Shares per CR Share, determined as follows. The number of Class A Ordinary Shares to which a holder shall be entitled upon conversion of any CR Share shall be equal to the applicable Original Purchase Price for such CR Share Price divided by the then-effective applicable Conversion Price for such CR Share. The initial Conversion Price of each Series A Preferred Share shall be equal to the applicable Original Purchase Price for such Share. For the avoidance of doubt, the initial conversion ratio for CR Shares to Class A Ordinary Shares shall be 1:1, subject to adjustments of the Conversion Price, as set forth below, provided that the Conversion Price shall not be less than the par value of the Class A Ordinary Shares. Such conversion shall be effected by the redemption of the CR Shares each at the applicable Original Purchase Price, and the application of the proceeds thereof in consideration for the issue to the relevant holder of the appropriate number of Class A Ordinary Shares at the Conversion Price. All rights incidental to the CR Shares (including the rights to any declared but unpaid dividends) shall terminate automatically upon any conversion of such CR Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares.

(ii)    The CR Holder who desires to convert its CR Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor (or an affidavit in respect of any lost certificates), duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the CR Shares, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such CR Holder has elected to convert such CR Shares. Such notice shall state the number of the CR Shares being converted. Thereupon, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) issue and deliver to such CR Holder at such office a certificate or certificates for the number of Class A Ordinary Shares to which the CR Holder is entitled and shall update the register of members accordingly. No fractional Class A Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the CR Shares, and the number of Class A Ordinary Shares to be so issued to a CR Holder upon the conversion of such CR Shares (after aggregating all fractional Class A Ordinary Shares that would be issued to such holder) shall be rounded to the nearest whole Class A Ordinary Share (with one-half being rounded upward). Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of the surrender of the certificates (or an affidavit in respect of any lost certificates) representing the CR Shares to be converted and when the register of members is updated, and the holder entitled to receive the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Class A Ordinary Shares on such date.

 

Sch. A-39


10.2    Automatic Conversion.

(i)    Each CR Share shall automatically be converted into the appropriate number of fully-paid, non-assessable Class A Ordinary Shares at the then-effective and applicable Conversion Price upon the earlier of: (a) immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified IPO, or (b) the written consents of Majority Series A Preferred Holders, provided that (i) the conversion of Series A-16 Preferred Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares under this Section 10.2 shall require the prior written approval of the holder(s) of a majority of the Series A-16 Preferred Shares, and (ii) the conversion of Series A-15 Preferred Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares under this Section 10.2 shall require the prior written approval of the holder(s) of a majority of the Series A-15 Preferred Shares. Any automatic conversion of CR Shares made pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be effected automatically by the redemption of the requisite number of CR Shares at the applicable Original Purchase Price and the issuance of the appropriate number of Class A Ordinary Shares at the then-effective Conversion Price.

(ii)    In the event of an automatic conversion of the CR Shares pursuant to Section 10.2(i), all outstanding CR Shares shall be converted automatically without any further action by the CR Holders and whether or not the certificates representing such CR Shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent in respect of such class or series of CR Shares. The Company shall give notices to the CR Holders of an automatic conversion at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the date of conversion and as soon as practicable following the written consents required under Section 10.2(i) above. The Company shall not issue certificates in respect of any Class A Ordinary Shares into which the CR Shares have been converted upon automatic conversion unless the certificates in respect of the CR Shares so converted are either delivered to the registered office of the Company or to the office of its transfer agent in respect of such CR Shares or the CR Holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.

10.3    Adjustment to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as provided below:

(i)    Adjustment for Share Splits and Combinations. In the event that the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares shall be subdivided (by share dividend, share split, or otherwise) into a greater number of Class A Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of Class A Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Price then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.

(ii)    Adjustment for Class A Ordinary Shares Dividends and Distributions. If the Company makes (or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Class A Ordinary Shares entitled to receive) a dividend or other distribution to the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares payable in additional Class A Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance (or in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date) by multiplying such Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

Sch. A-40


(iii)    Adjustments for Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations, Reclassifications, Exchanges, Substitutions. If at any time, or from time to time, any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Class A Ordinary Shares (other than as a result of a share dividend, subdivision, split or combination otherwise treated above) occurs or the Company is consolidated, merged or amalgamated with or into another Person (other than a consolidation, merger or amalgamation treated as a Liquidation Event pursuant to Section 8), then in any such event, provision shall be made so that, upon conversion of any CR Share thereafter, the holder of such CR Share shall receive the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which the holder of such CR Share would have received had the CR Shares been converted into Class A Ordinary Shares on the date of such event, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein, or with respect to such other securities or property, in accordance with any terms applicable thereto.

(iv)    Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Shares Below Then-Effective Conversion Price.

(A)    Anti-Dilution Adjustment. In the event that any time after the date of the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Company shall issue or sell any New Securities without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect applicable to any Investor on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance, then the Conversion Price in effect applicable to such Investor shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to the price determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP2 = CP1* (A + B) ÷ (A + C).

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

(1)    “CP2” shall mean the Conversion Price, as applicable, in effect immediately after such issue or sale of New Securities;

(2)    “CP1” shall mean the Conversion Price, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale of New Securities;

(3)    “A” shall mean the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale of New Securities;

(4)    “B” shall mean the number of Class A Ordinary Shares that would have been issued or sold if such New Securities had been issued or sold at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issue or sale by CP1); and

(5)    “C” shall mean the number of such New Securities issued or sold in such transaction.

For purposes of the above calculation, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale of New Securities shall be calculated assuming conversion or exercise of all Ordinary Share Equivalents.

If at any time, or from time to time, the Company issues any Ordinary Share Equivalents exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for New Securities Shares and the effective conversion price of such Ordinary Share Equivalents is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then, this Section 10.3(iv)(A) shall apply and, for purposes of calculating any adjustment with respect to the Conversion Price, at the time of such issuance the Company shall be deemed to have issued the maximum number of New Securities issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such Ordinary Share Equivalents and to have received in consideration for each New Security deemed issued an amount equal to the effective conversion price of such Ordinary Share Equivalents. In no event will any adjustment hereunder be made to the extent it would result in any New Securities being issued for an amount which is less than the then effective par value of such Shares.

 

Sch. A-41


(B)    Determination of Consideration. For the purpose of making any adjustment to the Conversion Price or number of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the CR Shares, as provided above:

(1)    To the extent it consists of cash, the consideration received by the Company for any issue or sale of securities shall be computed at the net amount of cash received by the Company after deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions, compensations, discounts or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection with such issue or sale;

(2)    To the extent it consists of property other than cash, consideration other than cash received by the Company for any issue or sale of securities shall be computed at the fair market value thereof (as determined in good faith by the Board), as of the date of the adoption of the resolution specifically authorizing such issue or sale, irrespective of any accounting treatment of such property; and

(3)    If any New Securities or Ordinary Share Equivalents exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for New Securities are issued or sold together with other Shares or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, the consideration received for the New Securities or such Ordinary Share Equivalents shall be computed as that portion of the consideration received (as determined in good faith by the Board) to be allocable to such New Securities or Ordinary Share Equivalents.

(v)    No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but rather shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 10.3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the CR Holders against impairment.

(vi)    Certificate of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 10, the Company at its expense shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each CR Holder affected thereby a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall further, upon the written request at any time of any CR Holder, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (a) such adjustments and readjustments, (b) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (c) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of CR Shares as of the date the written request was received.

 

Sch. A-42


(vii)    Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur as to which the other provisions of this Section 10.3 are not strictly applicable, but the failure to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price would not fairly protect the conversion rights of the CR Holders in accordance with the essential intent and principles hereof, then, in each such case, the Company, in good faith, shall determine the appropriate adjustment to be made, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 10.3, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the conversion rights of the CR Holders.

10.4    Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Class A Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the CR Shares, such number of its Class A Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding CR Shares.
