In the event of any difference between the provisions set out in the main body of these Articles and the provisions set out in the Schedule A hereto, the provisions set out in the Schedule A hereto shall prevail.

COMMENCEMENT OF BUSINESS

 

4 The business of the Company may be commenced as soon after incorporation as the Directors shall see fit.

 

5 The Directors may pay, out of the capital or any other monies of the Company, all expenses incurred in or about the formation and establishment of the Company, including the expenses of registration.

ISSUE OF SHARES

 

6 Subject to the other provisions in the Memorandum and Articles (and to any direction that may be given by the Company in general meeting) and without prejudice to any rights attached to any existing Shares, the Directors may allot, issue, grant options over or otherwise dispose of Shares (including fractions of a Share) with or without preferred, deferred or other rights or restrictions, whether in regard to Dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise and to such persons, at such times and on such other terms as they think proper.

 

7 The Company shall not issue Shares to bearer.

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 (40) 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 (10) days immediately preceding the meeting.

 

3


10 In lieu of, or apart from, closing the register of members, the Directors may fix in advance or arrears a date as the record date for any such determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of the Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or for the purpose of determining the Shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or in order to make a determination of Shareholders for any other purpose.

 

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.

 

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

 

15 Subject to the Statute and the other provisions in the Memorandum and Articles, 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. The redemption of such Shares shall be effected in such manner as the Company may determine before the issue of the Shares or as set forth in the Articles.

 

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

 

4


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 If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may only be varied with the consent in writing of members holding not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes entitled to be cast by holders (in person or by proxy) of Shares on a poll at a general meeting of such class affected by the proposed variation of rights and the approval of a Special Resolution. 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 third 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 The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith.

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.

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.

 

5


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 (14) 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 (14) 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.

 

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.

 

6


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 (14) 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.

 

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.

 

7


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 becomes 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.

 

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 (90) 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.

 

8


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 The Directors shall on the requisition of member of the Company who can at least constitute, at the date of the deposit of the requisition, any of (i) the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Common Shares, (ii) the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Series A Shares, (iii) the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Series B Shares, (iv) the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Series C Shares, or (v) the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Series D Shares proceed to convene a general meeting 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 (21) 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 (21) 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 (21) 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.

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:

 

9


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, jointly by holders of a majority of the Common Shares, holders of a Requisite Percentage of the Preferred Shares.

 

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. A general meeting shall be deemed duly constituted if, at the commencement of and throughout the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding Shares entitled to vote (including the holders of the Requisite Percentage of the Preferred Shares).

 

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 (including a Special Resolution) in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed 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) 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, 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, provided that matters discussed in such adjourned meeting shall be limited to those stated in the written notices and agendas of such meeting.

 

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.

 

10


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 (30) 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 (10%) of the issued and 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 In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman shall be entitled to a second or casting vote.

VOTES OF SHAREHOLDERS

 

69 Subject to 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, shall have one vote and on a poll every Shareholder shall have one vote for every Share of which he is the holder.

 

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.

 

11


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 registered office or at such other place as is specified for that purpose in the notice convening the meeting, or in any instrument of proxy sent out by the Company:

 

77.1 not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote; or

 

77.2 in the case of a poll taken more than 48 hours after it is demanded, be deposited as aforesaid after the poll has been demanded and not less than 24 hours before the time appointed for the taking of the poll; or

 

12


77.3 where the poll is not taken forthwith but is taken not more than 48 hours after it was demanded be delivered at the meeting at which the poll was demanded to the chairman or to the secretary or to any director;

PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS

 

90 Subject to the other provisions in the Memorandum and Articles, the Directors may regulate their proceedings as they think fit. Subject to the other provisions in the Memorandum and Articles, questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes of the Directors and alternate Directors present at a meeting at which there is a quorum. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman shall have a second or casting vote. 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 Shareholders 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 two (2) 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.

 

15


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.

DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS

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; provided however that, if a Common Director (or his/her alternate in his/her absence) is interested in a transaction with the Company, he shall be disqualified from or abstain from voting in respect of such transaction if any Investor Director so requires.

 

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.

109 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.

122 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.

 

123 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

 

124 Subject to the Statute and the other provisions in the Memorandum and 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.

 

125 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.

 

126 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.

 

20


127 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.

130 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.

BOOKS OF ACCOUNT

 

131 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.

21

133 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.

136 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.

 

22


138 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 (3rd) 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 (5th) 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.

139 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.

 

140 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

 

141 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.

Unless converted earlier pursuant to Section 4.3 below, each Preferred Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the Series A Original Issue Date, Series B Original Issue Date, Series C Original Issue Date or Series D Original Issue Date, as applicable, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares, by any means not prohibited by the Statute (including by way of re-designation or repurchase and re-issue) based on the then-effective Conversion Price.

 

4.3 Automatic Conversion

Each Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into Common Shares based on the then-effective Conversion Price for such Preferred Share in effect at the time immediately upon the closing of the Qualified IPO.

 

4.4 Conversion Price Adjustments

The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

  (a) Proportional Adjustment

 

12


     If at any time the number of outstanding Common Shares proportionately changes as a result of share split, share division, share combination, share dividend, reorganization, mergers, consolidations, reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, recapitalization or similar events, then Conversion Price shall be proportionately adjusted.

 

  (b) Dilutive Issuance

 

  (i) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of New Shares.

 

  (1) If at any time, the Company shall issue or sell New Shares for a per-share consideration less than the then-effective Conversion Price with respect to a class of Preferred Shares in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Conversion Price corresponding such class of Preferred Shares shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:

CP2 = CP1 * (A + B) / (A + C).

 

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

 

  (a) CP2 shall mean the Conversion Price applicable to such class of Preferred Shares in effect immediately after such issue of New Shares;

 

  (b) CP1 shall mean the Conversion Price applicable to such class of Preferred Shares in effect immediately prior to such issue of New Shares;

 

  (c) “A” shall mean the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issue of New Shares;

 

  (d) “B” shall mean the number of C Shares that would have been issued if such New Shares had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing (x) the aggregate consideration received by the Company in respect of such issue by (y) CP1); and

 

  (e) “C” shall mean the number of such New Shares issued in such transaction.

 

  (ii) Deemed Issuances of New Shares. In the case of the issuance of Option, the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this Section 4.4(b):

 

  (1) The aggregate maximum number of Common Shares deliverable upon exercise of Option shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such Option were issued, and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon the issuance of such Option, plus the minimum exercise price provided in such Option for the Common Shares covered thereby.

 

13


  (2) In the event of any change in the number of Common Shares deliverable, or in the consideration payable to the Company upon exercise of such Option, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such Option, be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Shares or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such Option.

 

  (3) Upon the expiration or termination of any such Option, the Conversion Price of the Preferred Shares shall, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such Option, be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of Common Shares actually issued upon the exercise of such Option.

 

  (iii) Determination of Consideration. In the case of the issuance of Common Shares for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash received by the Company. In the case of the issuance of the Common Shares for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof, as determined by the Board (including the affirmative votes of all of the Investor Directors) irrespective of any accounting treatment.

 

4.5 Procedure of Conversion

 

  (a) Mechanics of Conversion.

 

  (i) The Company may effect the conversion of Preferred Shares in any manner available under applicable law, including redeeming or repurchasing the relevant Preferred Shares and applying the proceeds thereof towards payment for the new Common Shares. Upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue such number of the Common Shares converted from such Preferred Shares to the Preferred Shareholders holding such Preferred Shares, and cancel the Preferred Shares so converted. The Company shall promptly update its register of members to reflect the issuance of such Common Shares and the cancellation of such Preferred Shares.

 

  (ii) The conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the closing of business on the date of the surrender of the certificates representing the shares of the Preferred Shares to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Common Shares on such date. All Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares will upon issuance be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, free of all liens and charges and not subject to any pre-emptive rights.

 

14


  (b) Fractional Share.

No fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon conversion of any Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Preferred Shareholder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall at the discretion of the Board (including the affirmative votes of all of the Investor Directors) either (A) pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value for the applicable Preferred Share as determined and approved by the Board , or (B) issue one whole Common Share for each fractional share to which the Preferred Shareholder would otherwise be entitled.

 

  (c) Adjustment Certificate.

Upon the occurrence of each adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Company shall, at its expense, promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and notify each Preferred Shareholder of such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any Preferred Shareholder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Preferred Shareholder an adjustment certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment (B) the Conversion Price for the Preferred Shares at the time in effect, and (C) the number of Common Shares that each Preferred Share could then be converted into.

 

4.6 No Impairment

The Shareholders shall procure that the Company shall not impair the conversion rights of the Preferred Shares, and shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Preferred Shareholders (including without limitation, reservation of sufficient authorized but unissued Common Shares for issuance upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares).

 

5. VOTING RIGHTS

 

5.1 General.

The Common Shareholders shall have the right to one (1) vote for each issued and outstanding Common Share held. The Preferred Shareholders shall have the right to one (1) vote for each Common Share into which each issued and outstanding Preferred Share held could then be converted. Subject to provisions to the contrary elsewhere in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, or as required by applicable laws, the Preferred Shareholders shall have vote together with the Common Shareholders, and not as a separate class or series, on all matters put before the Shareholders.

 

15

(i) sum of (x) the number of Common Shares (on a fully diluted and as converted basis) outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale of New Shares plus (y) the aggregate consideration received by the Company in connection with the issue or sale of New Shares divided by the Price Per Share for Angel Investor in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale; divided by

(ii) sum of (x) the number of Common Shares (on a fully diluted and as converted basis) outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale of New Shares plus (y) the number of New Shares so issued or sold

provided that for the purpose of this Section 6.1, the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issue shall be calculated to include the number of Common Shares which are issued and outstanding or owned or held, as applicable, at the date of determination plus the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to any securities, warrants, rights, Convertible Securities or Options then outstanding, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for (whether or not subject to contingencies or passage of time, or both) Common Shares.

 

6.2 No Adjustment to Price Per Share for Angel Investor.

6.3 Deemed Issuance of New Share. In the event that the Company at any time or from time to time shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number that would result in an adjustment pursuant to sub-paragraph (ii) below) of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be New Shares issued as of the time of such issuance or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that New Shares shall not be deemed to have been issued for this Section 6 unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof) of such New Shares would be less than the Price Per Share for Angel Investor in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance, or such record date, as the case may be, and provided further that in any such case in which New Shares are deemed to be issued:

 

20


(i) no further adjustment to the Price Per Share for Angel Investor shall be made upon the subsequent issuance of Common Shares upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

(ii) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company, or increase or decrease in the number of Shares issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Price Per Share for Angel Investor computed upon the original issuance thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increase or decrease becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease insofar as it affects such Options or the rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities;

(iii) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which have not been exercised, the Price Per Share for Angel Investor computed upon the original issuance thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:

(A) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Shares, the only New Shares issued were Common Shares, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issuance of all such Options or Convertible Securities, whether or not exercised or converted, plus the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, or for the issuance of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, and

(B) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issuance of such Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the New Shares deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issuance of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Company upon the issuance of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised; provided that

(I) no readjustment pursuant to sub-paragraph (ii) or (iii) above shall have the effect of increasing the Price Per Share for Angel Investor to an amount which exceeds the lower of (x) the Price Per Share for Angel Investor on the original adjustment date, or (y) the applicable Price Per Share for Angel Investor that would have resulted from any issuance of New Shares between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date; and

 

21


(II) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than thirty (30) days after the date of issuance thereof, no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the manner provided in sub-paragraph (iii) above.

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issuance, as determined in good faith by the Board (including the affirmative vote of the Angel Investor Director); provided, however, that no value shall be attributed to any services performed by any employee, officer or director of the Company; and

(C) in the event New Shares are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received with respect to such New Shares, computed as provided in this sub-paragraph (i), as determined by the Board (including the affirmative vote of the Angel Investor Director).

(ii) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for New Shares deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 5.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

(B) the maximum number of Common Shares (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

6.5 Adjustments for Share Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidations of Common Shares. In the event that the issued and outstanding Common Shares shall be subdivided (by share dividend, share split, or otherwise) into a greater number of Common Shares, the Price Per Share for Angel Investor then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the issued and outstanding Common Shares shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of Common Shares, the Price Per Share for Angel Investor then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.

 

22

(i) the number of the relevant part of the Common Shares held by the Angel Investor immediately prior to the adjustment to the Price Per Share for Angel Investor under Section 6.1; and

(ii) the quotient of the Price Per Share for Angel Investor in effect immediately prior to such adjustment divided by the Price Per Share for Angel Investor after such adjustment.
