SHARE CAPITAL AND SHARES

52. Rights of Preferred Shares

(1) Dividends.

(a) Subject to the Statute and these Articles, the Directors may from time to time declare dividends (including interim dividends) and distributions on shares of the Company in issue and authorize payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefore and in accordance with the provisions of this Article 52;

(b) In each fiscal year, for so long as a holder of Series A Shares holds no less than fifty percent (50%) of the Series A Shares that such holder of Series A Shares subscribed for on the Series A-1 Original Issue Date and/or Series A-2 Original Issue Date, as the case may be, (i) such holder of the Series A-1 Shares shall be entitled to receive dividends (“Series A-1 Preferred Dividends”) from time to time payable out of any funds legally available therefor at the rate of three percent (3%) of the Series A-1 Original Issue Price, and (ii) such holder of the Series A-2 Shares shall be entitled to receive dividends (“Series A-2 Preferred Dividends”) from time to time payable out of any funds legally available therefor at the rate of three percent (3%) of the Series A-2 Original Issue Price, prior to and in preference to any dividends on shares of any other class or series. The Series A-1 Preferred Dividends and the Series A-2 Preferred Dividends shall accrue from year to year, whether or not declared or paid, and no dividend shall be declared or paid in any fiscal year on any other class or series of shares unless and until all Series A-1 Preferred Dividends and all Series A-2 Preferred Dividends for the current year, and all Series A-1 Preferred Dividends and the Series A-2 Preferred Dividends accrued but unpaid from prior years, have been paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Series A-1 Preferred Dividends and the Series A-2 Preferred Dividends accrued shall become immediately payable at the discretion of the Board or upon an initial public offering of the Ordinary Shares of the Company. Upon the initial public offering of the Ordinary Shares of the Company, such holders of Series A Shares shall have the right to convert dividends accrued into such number of the Ordinary Share at the net initial public offering price (after deducting underwriting commissions and discounts and all levies and taxes) and the preferred dividend rights of such holders of the Series A Shares pursuant to this Article 52(1) shall terminate and cease to be in effect; and

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, and in addition to any Series A-1 Preferred Dividends and Series A-2 Preferred Dividends, no dividends or other distributions, whether in cash, in property, or in any shares of the Company, shall be paid with respect to shares of any class or series unless at the same time a dividend or distribution of like kind and amount is paid on each outstanding Series A Share on an as-converted basis.


(2) Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, or any Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), distributions to the Members of the Company shall be made in the following manner and in the following order of preference:

(a) So long as a holder of the Series A Shares holds no less than fifty percent (50%) of the Series A Shares that such holder of Series A Shares subscribed for on the Series A-1 Original Issue Date and/or Series A-2 Original Issue Date, as the case may be, such holder of the Series A Shares shall be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of the Ordinary Shares or any other class or series of shares by reason of their ownership of such shares, the amount of US$0.768 for each Series A-1 Share plus an amount equal to all declared or accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (the “Series A-1 Liquidation Preference”), and the amount of US$1.45152 for each Series A-2 Share plus an amount equal to all declared or accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (the “Series A-2 Liquidation Preference”). If upon the occurrence of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Shares shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full preferential amount stated herein, then the entire assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed pro-rata amongst the holders of all outstanding Series A-1 Shares and Series A-2 Shares based on their respective preferential amounts stated herein.

(b) After setting aside or paying in full the preferential amounts due to such holders of the Series A Shares pursuant to Article 52(2)(a) above, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to Members, if any, shall be distributed to the holders of the Series A Shares, Ordinary Shares and shares of any other class or series on a pro-rata basis, based on the number of Ordinary Shares then held by each holder on an as-converted basis.

(c) In the event of (i) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Group Company, or (ii) a consolidation, merger, acquisition, change of Control or other transaction of the Company, with or into any other company or companies in which the Members of the Company do not retain a majority of the voting power in the surviving company, (each, a “Deemed Liquidation Event”), the Company shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, declare a compulsory dividend (x) equal to the amount received by the Company on such sale, lease, or other disposition, or (y) equal to the amount that would otherwise be received by the Members on such consolidation, merger, acquisition or other transaction or (z) equal to the amount of the Series A-1 Liquidation Preference or the Series A-2 Liquidation Preference, as the case may be, on such enactment or prohibition (the “Compulsory Dividend”). Such Compulsory Dividend shall be paid either in the same form of consideration that is received from the acquirer(s) or in cash, as the Company may in its absolute discretion determine. The Compulsory Dividend will be distributed to the holders of shares of the Company in accordance with Articles 52(2)(a) and 52(2)(b) and, in the case of an event described in (ii) above, shall be distributed in lieu of payments the holders of shares would otherwise receive. In the event the requirements of this Article 52(2) are not complied with, the Company shall forthwith either (a) cause such closing to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this Article 52(2) have been complied with, or (b) cancel such transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the holders of the Series A-1 Shares or the Series A-2 Shares shall not receive a Compulsory Dividend if they have already received the Series A-1 Liquidation Preference or the Series A-2 Liquidation Preference under Article 52(2)(a) as a result of the same Deemed Liquidation Event.


(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 52(2), and subject to any other applicable provisions of these Articles, the Company may at any time, out of legally available funds, repurchase Ordinary Shares of the Company issued to or held by employees, officers or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries upon termination of their employment or services, pursuant to any agreement providing for such right of repurchase, whether or not dividends on the Series A Shares shall have been declared and funds set aside therefor and such repurchases shall not be subject to the Series A-1 Liquidation Preference or the Series A-2 Liquidation Preference.

(e) In the event the Company proposes to distribute assets other than cash in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the value of the assets to be distributed to the holder of the Series A Shares and Ordinary Shares shall be determined in good faith by the Board, or by a liquidator if one is appointed. Any securities not subject to investment letter or similar restrictions on free marketability shall be valued as follows:

(i) if traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the security’s closing prices on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period ending one (1) day prior to the distribution;

(ii) if traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the thirty (30) day period ending three (3) days prior to the distribution; and

(iii) if there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board (including the approval of at least one (1) Series A Director).

(f) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability shall be adjusted to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) to reflect the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board (including the approval of at least one (1) Series A Director), or by a liquidator if one is appointed. The holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series A Shares (on an as-converted basis) shall have the right to challenge any determination by the Board of fair market value pursuant to this Article 52(2)(f), in which case the determination of fair market value shall be made by an independent appraiser selected jointly by the Board and the challenging parties, the cost of such appraisal to be borne by the Company.

(g) The right of the holders of the Series A Shares to receive liquidation preferences under this Article 52(2) shall terminate and cease to be in effect upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering.

(3) Conversion Rights. The holders of the Series A Shares have conversion rights as follows:

(a) Right to Convert Series A Shares. Unless converted earlier pursuant to Article 52(3)(b) below, (i) each Series A-1 Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the Series A-1 Original Issue Date, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares as determined by dividing the Series A-1 Original Issue Price by the Series A-1 Conversion Price


in effect at the time of the conversion (the “Series A-1 Conversion Price”), and (ii) each Series A-2 Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the Series A-2 Original Issue Date, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares as determined by dividing the Series A-2 Original Issue Price by the Series A-2 Conversion Price in effect at the time of the conversion (the “Series A-2 Conversion Price”). The initial Series A-1 Conversion Price shall be the Series A-1 Original Issue Price, and the initial Series A-2 Conversion Price shall be the Series A-2 Original Issue Price.

(b) Automatic Conversion. Each Series A-1 Share and Series A-2 Share shall automatically be converted into Ordinary Shares at the then effective Series A-1 Conversion Price and Series A-2 Conversion Price, respectively, immediately prior to the closing of a Qualified Public Offering. In the event of an automatic conversion of the Series A Shares, the person(s) entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall not be deemed to have converted such Series A-1 Shares or the Series A-2 Shares until immediately prior to the closing of the Qualified Public Offering.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional Ordinary Share shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Series A-1 Conversion Price or Series A-2 Conversion Price, as the case may be. Before any Series A Holder shall be entitled to convert the same into full Ordinary Shares and to receive certificates therefor, the holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for the Series A Shares, duly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Series A Shares to be converted, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that the holder elects to convert the same. The Company shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder of the Series A Shares a certificate or certificates for and a copy of the Company’s register of Members showing such holder of the Series A Shares as a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares to which the holder shall be entitled as aforesaid certified by the Company’s share registrar and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional Ordinary Shares. The Series A Shares converted into Ordinary Shares shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate or certificates for the Series A Shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Ordinary Shares on such date. For the avoidance of doubt, no conversion shall prejudice the right of a Series A Holder to receive dividends and other distributions declared but not paid as at the date of conversion on the Series A Shares being converted.

The Company may give effect to any conversion pursuant to the Articles by one (1) or more of the following methods:

(i) If the total nominal par value of the Preferred Shares being converted is equal to the total nominal par value of the Ordinary Shares into which such Preferred Shares convert such that each Preferred Share is convertible into one (1) Ordinary Share and both the Preferred Share and the Ordinary Share have the same par value, the Company may, by resolution of the Board,


redesignate the Preferred Shares to Ordinary Shares. On re-designation, each Preferred Share to be converted shall become an Ordinary Share with the rights, privileges, terms and obligations of the class of Ordinary Shares and the converted Ordinary Shares shall thenceforth form part of the class of the Ordinary Shares (and shall cease to form part of the class of Preferred Shares for all purposes).

(ii) The Board may by resolution resolve to redeem the Preferred Shares for the purpose of this Article (and, for accounting and other purposes, may determine the value therefor) and in consideration therefor issue fully-paid Ordinary Shares in relevant number.

(iii) The Board may by resolution approve payment for the Preferred Shares out of the profits of the Company or adopt any other method permitted by Statute including capitalizing reserves to pay up new Ordinary Shares, or by making a fresh issue of Ordinary Shares made for that purpose, except that if conversion is capable of being effected in the manner described in paragraph (i) above, the conversion shall be effected in that manner in preference to any other method permitted by law or the Articles.

(d) Availability of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times keep available out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares, free of liens of any kind, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Shares, such number of its Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A Shares, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding Series A Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Series A Shares, the Company shall take such corporate action as may, in accordance with the Articles and the Statute, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

(e) Cessation of Certain Rights on Conversion. Subject to Article 52(3)(c), on the date of conversion of any Series A Share to an Ordinary Share, the holder of the Series A Share to be converted shall cease to be entitled to any rights in respect of such Series A Share and accordingly his name shall be removed from the register of Members as the holder of such Series A Shares and shall correspondingly be inserted onto the register of Members as the holder of the number of Ordinary Shares into which such Series A Shares convert; provided, however, that such holder shall be entitled to receive any declared but unpaid dividends payable on the Series A Shares for which a record date occurred prior to the date of conversion if he was the holder on such record date.

(f) Ordinary Shares Resulting from Conversion. The Ordinary Shares resulting from the conversion of the Series A Shares:

(i) shall be credited as fully paid and non-assessable;

(ii) shall rank pari passu in all respects and form one (1) class with the Ordinary Shares then issued; and

(iii) shall entitle the holder to all dividends payable on the Ordinary Shares by reference to a record date after the date of conversion.


(g) Adjustment to Conversion Price. For purposes of Articles 52(3) and 54, the following definitions shall apply:

(i) “Options” mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire either New Shares or Convertible Securities.

(ii) “Convertible Securities” mean any notes, bonds, debentures, preferred shares or other securities or rights which are ultimately convertible into or exchangeable for New Shares.

(iii) “New Shares” mean all Ordinary Shares (including reissued shares) issued by the Company after the Series A-1 Original Issue Date, other than:

(A) Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of Series A-1 Shares or Series A-2 Shares authorized herein or upon the exercise or conversion of options or warrants outstanding as of Series A-1 Original Issue Date;

(B) not more than 7,500,000 Ordinary Shares (proportionally adjusted to reflect any share dividends, share splits, or similar transactions) issuable or issued to officers, directors, employees, consultants of the Company pursuant to any equity plan or incentive arrangement approved by the Directors including any of such shares which are repurchased;

(C) as a dividend or distribution on Series A Shares or in connection with any event for which adjustment is made pursuant to Article 52(3)(m) or 52(3)(n);

(D) any share split, share dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction for which proportional adjustments are made;

(E) Series A-2 Shares and Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of any such Series A-2 Shares;

(F) Ordinary Shares or any evidences of indebtedness, shares (other than Series A Shares and Ordinary Shares) or Convertible Securities issued in a bona fide acquisition, merger consolidation, strategic alliance, license of technology or similar business combination or strategic transaction, the terms of which are approved by the Board (including at least one (1) Series A Director);

(G) Ordinary Shares issued in an underwritten public offering;

(H) Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities issued for business purposes that are approved by the Board, including the affirmative vote of at least one (1) Series A Director;

(I) Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities issued to third-party service providers in exchange for or as partial consideration for services rendered to the Company that are approved by the Board, including the affirmative vote of at least one (1) Series A Director; and


(J) Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities issued to customers, partners, vendors or providers of the Company that are approved by the Board, including the affirmative vote of at least one (1) Series A Director.

(h) No Adjustment of Series A-1 Conversion Price and Series A-2 Conversion Price. Subject to Article 52(3)(o), (i) no adjustment in the Series A-1 Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of New Shares unless the consideration for any New Share issued or deemed to be issued by the Company is less than the Series A-1 Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, and (ii) no adjustment in the Series A-2 Conversion Price shall be made in respect of the issuance of New Shares unless the consideration for any New Share issued or deemed to be issued by the Company is less than the Series A-2 Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue.

(i) Deemed Issue of New Shares. In the event the Company 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 clause (ii) below) of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be New Shares issued as of the time of such issue 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 unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Article 52(3)(k) hereof) of such New Shares would be less than the Series A-1 Conversion Price or the Series A-2 Conversion Price, as the case may be, in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, 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:

(i) no further adjustment in the Series A-1 Conversion Price or the Series A-2 Conversion Price, as the case may be, shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or Ordinary 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 Ordinary Shares issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, the Series A-1 Conversion Price or the Series A-2 Conversion Price, as the case may be, computed upon the original issue 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 shall not have been exercised, the Series A-1 Conversion Price or the Series A-2 Conversion Price, as the case may be, computed upon the original issue 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 Ordinary Shares, the only New Shares issued were Ordinary 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 issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise, or for the issue 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 issue 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 issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the Company upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised;

(iv) no re-adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above shall have the effect of increasing the Series A-1 Conversion Price or the Series A-2 Conversion Price, as the case may be, to an amount which exceeds the lower of (a) the Series A-1 Conversion Price on the original adjustment date immediately prior to the adjustment for which the re-adjustment is now being made, or the Series A-2 Conversion Price on the original adjustment date immediately prior to the adjustment for which the re-adjustment is now being made, as the case may be, or (b) the applicable Series A-1 Conversion Price or Series A-2 Conversion Price (as the case may be) that would have resulted from any issuance of New Shares between the original adjustment date and such re-adjustment date, and from any other occurrences, during such period, of events (including share splits) that would cause adjustments to the Series A-1 Conversion Price or the Series A-2 Conversion Price, as the case may be; and

(v) in the case of any Options which expire by their terms not more than thirty (30) days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of the Series A-1 Conversion Price or the Series A-2 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 clause (iii) above.

(j) Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of New Shares. In the event the Company issues New Shares or is deemed to issue New Shares without consideration or for a consideration per share received by the Company (net of any selling concessions, discounts or commissions) less than the Series A-1 Conversion Price or the Series A-2 Conversion Price, as the case may be, in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, the Series A-1 Conversion Price or the Series A-2 Conversion Price, as the case may be, shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price equal to the consideration per share for which such New Shares are issued or deemed to be issued. If such New Shares are issued or deemed to be issued for no consideration, then the consideration per share shall be deemed to be the then current par value of each Ordinary Share.


(k) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Article 52(3), the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any New Shares shall be computed as follows:

(i) Cash and Property. Except as provided in clause (ii) below, such consideration shall:

(A) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Company, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends;

(B) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Directors; 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 clauses (A) and (B) above, as determined in good faith by the Directors.

(ii) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for New Shares deemed to have been issued pursuant to Article 52(3)(i), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing

(A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company (net of any selling concessions, discounts or commissions) as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities by

(B) the maximum number of Ordinary 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.

(l) Adjustments for Shares Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidations of Ordinary Shares. In the event the outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be subdivided (by share dividend, share split, or otherwise), into a greater number of Ordinary Shares, the Series A-1 Conversion Price then in effect or the Series A-2 Conversion Price then in effect, as the case may be, shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of Ordinary Shares, the Series A-1 Conversion Price then in effect or the Series A-2 Conversion Price then in effect, as the case may be, shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be proportionately increased.


(m) Adjustments for Other Distributions. In the event the Company makes, or files a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive any distribution payable in securities or assets of the Company other than Ordinary Shares, then (unless the holders of the Series A Shares receive an equivalent distribution on an as-converted basis) provision shall be made so that the holders of Series A Shares shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of Ordinary Shares receivable thereupon, the amount of securities or assets of the Company which they would have received had their Series A Shares been converted into Ordinary Shares on the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of conversion, retained such securities or assets receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustment called for during such period under this Article 52(3) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Shares.

(n) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of shares, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), then and in each such event, the holder of each Series A Share shall have the right thereafter to convert such share into the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization or reclassification or other change by holders of the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Series A Shares immediately before that change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(o) Special Adjustment for Series A-2 Conversion Price.

(i) If the Company’s Net Income of 2007 (as defined below) is greater than or equal to US$8,000,000 or its equivalent in another currency, then in addition to and without limiting any other prior or subsequent adjustments required under this Article 52(3), the Series A-2 Conversion Price shall be adjusted once to equal to the then-existing Series A-2 Conversion Price times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Net Income of 2007 and the denominator of which shall be US$8,000,000, provided, that, any adjustment pursuant to this Article 52(3)(o)(i) shall not cause the new Series A-2 Conversion Price to be adjusted to an amount greater than US$1.73; and

(ii) If the Company’s Net Income of 2007 is less than US$8,000,000 or its equivalent in another currency, then in addition to and without limiting any other prior or subsequent adjustments required under this Article 52(3), the Series A-2 Conversion Price shall be adjusted once to equal to the lower of (i) the then-existing Series A-2 Conversion Price or (ii) the Series A-2 Original Issue Price times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Net Income of 2007 and the denominator of which shall be US$8,000,000, provided, that, any adjustment pursuant to this Article 52(3)(o)(ii) shall not cause the new Series A-2 Conversion Price to be adjusted to an amount lower than US$0.93.

For purposes of this Article 52(3)(o), “Net Income of 2007” shall mean the consolidated net income for the 2007 calendar year of the Company, excluding (i) extraordinary gain or revenue, and excluding any revenue from Affiliates of the Covenantors that


are not Group Companies, as audited by a “big 4” accounting firm in accordance with US GAAP; (ii) any reasonable fees and expenses incurred or to be incurred with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all legal, accounting, financial advisory or other similar fees; (iii) any compensation charge recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the Group Companies in relation to any options issued to employees of the Group Companies pursuant to a share option plan, provided that, such share option plan, option grant and exercise price has been adopted, or will be adopted or approved by the Board, including at least one (1) Series A Director and such issuance of options or the exercise price of the options have been approved by the Board, including at least one (1) Series A Director; (iv) any costs, expenses or charges recorded or to be recorded in the Company’s income statement as a result of the equity financing contemplated under the Subscription Agreement being determined to be a loan for accounting purposes; and (v) all fees and expenses associated with creating, implementing and executing a systematic training program on United States laws in connection with anti-corruption and anti-bribery for all directors, officers, agents, employees, representatives or any other Persons associated with or acting for or on behalf of the foregoing of the Group Companies.

(p) No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of these Articles or its Memorandum of Association 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 shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out in full all provisions of Article 52(3) and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Series A Shares against impairment.

(q) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or re-adjustment of the Series A-1 Conversion Price or the Series A-2 Conversion Price pursuant to this Article 52(3), the Company shall, at its expense, promptly compute such adjustment or re-adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series A-1 Shares or the Series A-2 Shares, as the case may be, a certificate setting forth such adjustment or re-adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or re-adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series A-1 Shares or the Series A-2 Shares, as the case may be, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and re-adjustments, (ii) the Series A-1 Conversion Price or the Series A-2 Conversion Price, as the case may be, at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of Ordinary Shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of Series A-1 Shares or the Series A-2 Shares.

(r) Miscellaneous.

(i) All calculations under this Article 52(3) shall be made to the nearest one hundredth (1/100) of a cent or to the nearest one hundredth (1/100) of a share, as the case may be. Upon conversion of such number of Preferred Shares, the resultant aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to each holder of Preferred Shares if not a whole number (but part or fraction of a Ordinary Share), shall be rounded up to the nearest multiple of one (1) Ordinary Share such that the resultant aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such holder of Preferred Shares shall be a whole number.


(ii) The holders representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding Series A Shares shall have the right to challenge any determination by the Directors of fair value pursuant to this Article 52(3), in which case such determination of fair value shall be made by an independent appraiser selected jointly by the Directors and the challenging parties, the cost of such appraisal to be borne equally by the Company and the challenging parties.

(iii) No adjustment in the Series A-1 Conversion Price or the Series A-2 Conversion Price need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in such Series A-1 Conversion Price or Series A-2 Conversion Price of less than US$0.005. Any adjustment of less than US$0.005 which is not made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of US$0.005 or more in such Series A-1 Conversion Price or Series A-2 Conversion Price, as the case may be.

(4) Redemption.

(a) Upon written request by holders of a majority of the Series A Shares at any time after the fourth anniversary of the Series A-1 Original Issue Date, for so long as such Series A Holders hold no less than fifty percent (50%) of the Series A Shares subscribed for at the Series A-1 Original Issue Date or Series A-2 Original Issue Date, as the case may be, the Company shall on the Redemption Date (defined below) redeem up to all Series A Shares held by the requesting holders of Series A Shares from any funds legally available for such purpose. The Company shall redeem all of the Series A Shares requested to be redeemed at the Redemption Date, and shall effect redemption by paying cash in an amount per share equal to the Series A-1 Liquidation Preference and the Series A-2 Liquidation Preference (as applicable), calculated to the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). The right of redemption of the Series A Holder under this Article 52(4) shall terminate and cease to be in effect upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering.

(b) If, on the Redemption Date, the Company fails to redeem up to fifty percent (50%) or less of Series A Shares requested to be redeemed, then Ji Lun HE (or his Affiliate if Ji Lun HE held the Ordinary Shares through his Affiliate) shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Redemption Date, pledge, or procure a third party to pledge, to the holders of Series A Shares requesting redemption (or if applicable, a security trustee designated by them) that number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Redemption Price of the Series A Shares requested to be redeemed but failed to be redeemed (the “Pledged Shares”). At the time of such pledge, (i) a notation regarding the pledge of the Pledged Shares shall be made in the Company’s register of members, and (ii) the pledgor of the Pledged Shares shall deliver to the Investors an instrument of transfer with respect to the Pledged Shares, endorsed in blank. If within twelve (12) months after the Redemption Date, neither the Company nor Ji Lun HE (or his Affiliate if Ji Lun HE held the Ordinary Shares through his Affiliate) nor any third party designated by Ji Lun HE (or his Affiliate if Ji Lun HE held the Ordinary Shares through his Affiliate) has paid to the Investors the Redemption Price for the unredeemed Series A Shares, the Pledged Shares shall be transferred to the holders of Series A Shares requesting redemption on a pro-rata basis based upon the number of unredeemed Series A Shares held by each such holder.


(c) Subject to paragraph (b) above, if, on the Redemption Date, the funds of the Company legally available for redemption of Series A Shares are insufficient to redeem the total number of Series A Shares to be redeemed on such date, those funds that are legally available will be used to redeem shares from the holders of Series A Shares ratably in proportion to the aggregate Redemption Prices that would be payable to each Series A Holder if all shares required to be redeemed were being redeemed. The Series A Shares not redeemed shall remain in issue and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein, including the rights of conversion set forth herein. The Company shall in good faith use all reasonable efforts as expeditiously as possible to eliminate, or obtain an exception, waiver or exemption from, any and all restrictions under applicable law or otherwise that prevented the Company from paying the full Redemption Price and redeeming all the Series A Shares requested to be redeemed hereunder, including without limitation causing its Affiliates to distribute any and all available funds to the Company for purposes of paying the Redemption Price. If any time thereafter additional funds become legally available for the redemption, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares which the Company has become obliged to redeem on the applicable Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed.

(d) Holders of the Series A Shares requesting redemption shall furnish to the Company and other holders of the Series A Shares, a written notice (the “Redemption Notice”), which shall be delivered by hand or by mail or courier (postage prepaid) to the registered office of the Company, and to each other Series A Holder at the address last shown on the records of the Company for such holder. Upon receipt of the Redemption Notice, and without prejudice to the general rights of the holders of other Series A Shares to redeem their shares, other holders of Series A Shares may also deliver a separate Redemption Notice to the Company (copying all other holders of the Series A Shares) within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the initial Redemption Notice, in which event all shares identified in all Redemption Notices shall be redeemed together. Upon receipt of the initial Redemption Notice, the Board shall determine the date on which the Series A Shares shall be redeemed, which shall in any event be within thirty (30) days after the date of the initial Redemption Notice (the “Redemption Date”).

(e) From and after the payment in full of the Redemption Price with respect to any Series A Share, such Series A Share shall cease to be in issue and shall no longer be transferable on the books of the Company, and all rights of the holder with respect to such share shall cease, except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof (including all accrued and unpaid dividend up to the Redemption Date), without interest, upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the same.

(f) If, following the delivery of the Redemption Notices, the Company fails to redeem on the Redemption Date over fifty percent (50%) of the Series A Shares requested to be redeemed, Article 14 shall automatically be amended to provide that a majority of the directors elected shall be candidates designated exclusively by the holders of the Series A Shares and Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of Series A Shares. All members shall be obligated to take timely and necessary action to procure the resignation or removal of any director to be replaced hereunder.


(5) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, the holder of each Ordinary Share issued and outstanding shall have one (1) vote for each Ordinary Share held by such holder, and the holder of each Series A Share shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of Ordinary Shares into which such Series A Share could be converted at the record date for determination of the Members entitled to vote on such matters, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of Members is solicited, such votes to be counted together with all other shares of the Company having general voting power and not counted separately as a class. Holders of the Ordinary Shares and the Series A Shares shall be entitled to notice of any Members’ meeting in accordance with these Articles, and except as otherwise set forth in these Articles, shall vote together and not as separate classes.

(6) Protective Provisions.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, and in addition to any other provisions in these Articles, any of the following acts of any of the Group Companies shall require the prior written approval of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding Series A Shares, voting together as a single class, in addition to any other consents or approvals required under applicable laws for so long as each Series A Holder holds no less than fifty (50%) of the Series A Shares that such Series A Holder subscribed for on the Series A-1 Original Issue Date and/or the Series A-2 Original Issue Date, as the case may be:

(i) any amendment to or change in the rights, preferences, privileges or powers of, or the restrictions provided for the benefit of, the Series A Shares;

(ii) any increase or decrease in the authorized share capital of the Company, the registered capital of the PRC WFOE or PRC Co., or any equity in any of the Group Companies;

(iii) any action that authorizes, creates or issues shares of any class or equity interests or securities convertible into shares or other equity interests in any Group Company, except for the issuance of any securities that are specifically excluded from the definition of “New Shares” above;

(v) any adoption, variation, amendment or waiver of any provision of the Company’s Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association or of any of the charter documents of any Group Company;

(vi) any merger, consolidation, acquisition or any other form of business combination of the Company or any Group Company with one (1) or more companies, except for those whose principal business is related to outdoor billboards, TV or broadcasting channels, advertising airtime and other media resources;

(vii) sale, lease or other disposition of fixed assets of the Company or any Group Company in excess of US$100,000 during any twelve (12) months, except where the purchaser’s principal business is related to outdoor billboards, TV or broadcasting channels, advertising airtime and other media resources in the ordinary course of business;

If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the subscription of the New Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within ninety (90) days of the execution thereof, the right provided in Article 54 shall be deemed to be revived and such New Shares shall not be offered unless first re-offered to Series A Holders in accordance with Article 54.

(2) If the requirements of such notice are not complied with, any such share may at any time thereafter before the payment of such call and the interest due in respect thereof be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect, and such share shall thereupon become the property of the Company and may be disposed of as the Board shall determine.

(3) A Member whose share or shares have been forfeited as aforesaid shall, notwithstanding such forfeiture, be liable to pay to the Company all calls owing on such share or shares at the time of the forfeiture and all interest due thereon.

Such instrument of transfer shall be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and transferee provided that, in the case of a fully paid share, the Board may accept the instrument signed by or on behalf of the transferor alone. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of such share until the same has been transferred to the transferee in the Register of Members.

(2) The Board may refuse to recognize any instrument of transfer unless it is accompanied by the certificate in respect of the shares to which it relates and by such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer.

64. Transfers by Joint Holders

The joint holders of any share or shares may transfer such share or shares to one (1) or more of such joint holders, and the surviving holder or holders of any share or shares previously held by them jointly with a deceased Member may transfer any such share to the executors or administrators of such deceased Member.

65. Restrictions on Share Transfers

(1) Restrictions on Ordinary Shareholder’s Transfer.

(a) Unless an Ordinary Shareholder has obtained the prior written consent of all Series A Holders, prior to a Qualified Public Offering, such Ordinary Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of or permit the sale, transfer, pledge, or other disposition of any Equity Securities (as defined below) held by such Ordinary Shareholder (each disposition


referenced in Articles 65(2) to 65(6), a “Transfer”); provided, however, Ji Lun HE (or his Affiliate if Ji Lun HE held the Ordinary Shares through his Affiliate) may Transfer, without first complying with Article 65(2), up to five million (5,000,000) Ordinary Shares (as adjusted for share splits, combinations, share dividends and so forth) held or beneficially owned by him to individuals or institutions that are critical to the development of the business of the Company (excluding professional investment funds or institutions unless otherwise approved by the Investors), provided, further, that such Transfer shall be completed within at least six (6) months prior to a Qualified Public Offering. Any permitted transferee must agree in writing to be bound by the restrictions contained herein on the Ordinary Shareholder and provided further that such Transfer does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, prevent the Company from consummating its initial public offering.

(b) For the purposes of these Articles, the term “Equity Securities” shall mean the Ordinary Shares or Series A Shares, any warrant, option, right, or any security that is issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement of such Series A Shares or Ordinary Shares, or securities convertible into or exercisable for Ordinary Shares or Series A Shares, and a reference to a number of Equity Securities at a given time shall be a reference to (a) the number of Ordinary Shares comprised in such Equity Securities at that time, and (b) the number of Ordinary Shares into which Series A Shares, warrants, options, rights, or securities convertible into or exercisable for Ordinary Shares comprised in such Equity Securities are convertible into or exercisable for at that time.

(2) Right of First Refusal and Right of Co-Sale.

(a) Subject to the limitations imposed on the Ordinary Shareholder as provided in Article 65(1), if at any time (i) any Ordinary Shareholder of the Company (or his or her executor) (a “Selling Shareholder”) proposes to Transfer his or her Equity Securities, in whole or in part, to one (1) or more third parties or (ii) any Equity Securities held by the Selling Shareholder are Transferred involuntarily pursuant to divorce, legal separation, bankruptcy or other proceedings, death or any other involuntary Transfer, then such Selling Shareholder (or his or her executor) shall give each Series A Holder a written notice of the intention to make such Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”). Such Transfer Notice shall include (i) a description of the Equity Securities to be Transferred (the “Offered Shares”), (ii) the identity of the prospective transferee(s), and (iii) the consideration and the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Transfer Notice shall certify that such Selling Shareholder has received a firm offer from the prospective transferee(s) respectively and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Transfer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed Transfer.

(b) Each Series A Holder shall have the right of first refusal, exercisable upon giving written notice to the Selling Shareholder (the “Purchase and Co-Sale Notice”) within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Transfer Notice, to purchase up to its pro-rata share of the Offered Shares plus up to its pro-rata share of any balance of the Offered Shares not purchased by any other Series A


Holders who elected not to exercise the right of first refusal (the “Remaining Shares”) on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice, subject to Article 65(2)(c), so long as such holder of the Series A Shares holds no less than fifty percent (50%) of the Series A Shares subscribed for on the Series A-1 Original Issue Date and/or the Series A-2 Original Issue Date, as the case may be. The Purchase and Co-Sale Notice shall state (i) whether such Series A Holder desires to purchase the maximum amount of the Offered Shares available including his, her or its pro-rata share of the Remaining Shares, and (ii) whether such Series A Holder elects not to purchase any of the Offered Shares but wishes to sell a portion of the securities held by such Series A Holder pursuant to Articles 65(2)(e) and 65(2)(f) and the number of securities to be sold (subject to Article 65(2)(f). Such Series A Holder has the right either to purchase under Article 65 or to sell under Article 65 and such right shall not be construed as an option to both purchase and sell with respect to the same Transfer. A Series A Holder who either does not deliver a Purchase and Co-Sale Notice or indicates in the Purchase and Co-Sale Notice that such Series A Holder elects not to purchase any of the Offered Shares shall be referred to herein as a “Non-Purchasing Holder” and otherwise a “Purchasing Holder”.

For the purposes of this Article 65(2), each Purchasing Holder’s pro-rata share shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Equity Securities held by such Purchasing Holder and the denominator of which is the total number of Equity Securities held by all Purchasing Holders calculated immediately prior to the time of the purchase from the Selling Shareholder; provided, however, that with respect to the Remaining Shares, the denominator shall be total number of Equity Securities held by the Purchasing Holders that are purchasing the Remaining Shares.

(c) In the event that the Transfer in question is by operation of law or another involuntary Transfer (including a Transfer incident to death, divorce, legal separation or bankruptcy), the price per share shall be the greater of the original purchase price paid by the Selling Shareholder for such Offered Shares (proportionally adjusted for share splits, share dividends, combinations and the like) or the fair market value of such Offered Shares, which shall be a price set by the Board that will reflect the current value of the Offered Shares in terms of present earnings and future prospects of the Company, determined within thirty (30) days after receipt by Series A Holders of the Transfer Notice. In the event that the Selling Shareholder or his or her executor disagrees with such valuation as determined by the Board, the Selling Shareholder or his or her executor shall be entitled to have the valuation determined by an independent appraiser to be mutually agreed upon by the Purchasing Holders and the Selling Shareholder or his or her executor, the fees of which appraiser shall be borne equally by the Purchasing Holders and the Selling Shareholder or his or her estate.

(d) In the event the consideration for the Offered Shares specified in a Transfer Notice is payable in property other than cash and the Selling Shareholder and the Series A Holders who wish to purchase the Offered Shares (acting together) cannot agree on the cash value of such property within ten (10) days after such Series A Holders’ receipt of the Transfer Notice, the value of such property shall be determined by an appraiser of recognized standing selected jointly by the Selling Shareholder and such Series A Holder. If they cannot agree on an appraiser within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Series A Holders, within a


further five-day period, the Selling Shareholder and such Series A Holders shall each select an appraiser of recognized standing and the two (2) appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing to determine the value of such property. The value of such property shall be determined by the appraiser selected pursuant to this Article 65(2)(d) within one (1) month from its appointment, and such determination shall be final and binding on the Selling Shareholder and such Series A Holders. The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by the Selling Shareholder and such Series A Holder (each Series A Holder shall pay its pro-rata portion of such costs based on the number of Offered Shares acquired by each such Series A Holder). If the thirty (30) day period as specified in Article 65(2)(b) has expired but for the determination of the value of the consideration for the Offered Shares offered by the Selling Shareholder, then such thirty (30) day period shall be extended to the fifth Business Day after such valuation shall have been determined to be final and binding pursuant to this Article 65(2)(d).

(e) Following the expiration of the right of first refusal and purchase rights described in Articles 65(2)(a) to (d), each Series A Holder who previously notified the Selling Shareholder in the Purchase and Co-Sale Notice of such Series A Holder’s desire to sell a portion of his, her or its shares with the Selling Shareholder (such Series A Holder, a “Co-Sale Participant”) shall have the right to participate in the sale of any Offered Shares that were not purchased by Series A Holders pursuant to Articles 65(2)(a) to (d), on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice, so long as such Series A Holder holds no less than fifty percent (50%) of the Series A Shares subscribed for on the Series A-1 Original Issue Date and/or the Series A-2 Original Issue Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that no Series A Holders shall be entitled under this Article 65(2)(e) to participate in Transfers of Equity Securities by a Selling Shareholder incident to divorce, legal separation, bankruptcy or other proceedings, or death or in any other involuntary Transfers of Equity Securities by a Selling Shareholder. To the extent one (1) or more Series A Holders exercise such right of co-sale in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Equity Securities that the Selling Shareholder may sell in the Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced.

(f) Each Co-Sale Participant may sell all or any part of that number of Equity Securities issued upon conversion equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Offered Shares, less any Offered Shares purchased by the Purchasing Holders, by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Equity Securities owned by such Co-Sale Participant and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Equity Securities held by the Selling Shareholder and all Co-Sale Participants, calculated immediately prior to the time of the Transfer.

(g) Each Co-Sale Participant shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Selling Shareholder for transfer to the prospective purchaser one (1) or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent:

(i) the series and number of Series A Shares which such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell; or

(ii) that number of Series A Shares which are at such time convertible into the number of Ordinary Shares which such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell; provided, however, that if the prospective third-party purchaser objects to the delivery of Series A


Shares in lieu of Ordinary Shares, such Co-Sale Participant shall first convert such Series A Shares into Ordinary Shares and deliver Ordinary Shares as provided in this Article 65(2)(g). The Company shall make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser and contingent upon such transfer.

(h) The share certificate or certificates that the Co-Sale Participant delivers to such Selling Shareholder pursuant to Article 65(2)(g) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Offered Shares to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and such Selling Shareholder shall concurrently therewith remit to such Co-Sale Participant that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co-Sale Participant is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from a Co-Sale Participant exercising its rights of co-sale in Articles 65(2)(e) and (f), such Selling Shareholder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Equity Securities unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Selling Shareholder shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Co-Sale Participant for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed Transfer described in the Transfer Notice.

(3) Non-Exercise of Rights. To the extent that the Series A Holders have not exercised their rights to purchase all the Offered Shares subject to the Transfer, such Selling Shareholder shall have a period of sixty (60) days from the expiration of such rights in which to sell any remaining Offered Shares, upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable to the purchaser than those specified in the Transfer Notice, to the third-party transferee(s) identified in the Transfer Notice. The third-party transferee(s) shall, as a condition to the effectiveness of Transfer of the Offered Shares, furnish the Company and the Selling Shareholder with a written agreement to be bound by and comply with these Articles, including without limitation all provisions of Article 65, as if such transferee(s) were a Selling Shareholder hereunder, as well as the terms of the agreement pursuant to which such Offered Shares were issued. In the event a Selling Shareholder does not consummate the sale or disposition of the Offered Shares within the sixty (60) day period from the expiration of these rights, the Series A Holder’s right of first refusal hereunder shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition by any Selling Shareholder. Furthermore, the exercise or non-exercise by the Series A Holders to purchase Offered Shares by such Selling Shareholder shall not adversely affect such Series A Holder’s rights to make subsequent purchases from any Selling Shareholder. Any proposed Transfer on terms and conditions different than those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed Transfer of any of the Offered Shares by a Selling Shareholder shall again be subject to the right of first refusal and co-sale right of Series A Holders in Articles 65(2) to (4) and shall require compliance by the relevant Selling Shareholder with the procedures described in Article 65.

(4) Limitations on Right of First Refusal and Right of Co-Sale.

The provisions of Article 65(2) shall not apply to (a) any repurchase of Equity Securities by the Company pursuant to any equity plan or incentive arrangement approved by the Directors; (b) any Transfer or Transfers made pursuant to Articles 52(4) and 65(6); and (c) any transfers by any shareholders of the Ordinary Shareholders to the ancestors, descendants or spouse, siblings,


spouse’s ancestors and siblings, or to trusts for the benefit of such persons, of such shareholders for bona fide estate planning purposes. Any such permitted transferee must agree in writing to be bound by the restrictions contained herein on the Ordinary Shareholders and provided further that such Transfer does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, prevent the Company from consummating its initial public offering.

(5) Prohibited Transfers.

(a) In the event that a Selling Shareholder should sell any Offered Shares in contravention of the purchase rights of the Series A Holders under Article 65(2) (a “Prohibited Transfer”), (i) the Company shall not update the Company’s Register of Members to reflect such Prohibited Transfer, and (ii) the Series A Holders, in addition to such other remedies as may be available at law, in equity or hereunder, shall have the put option provided in these Articles and such Selling Shareholder shall be bound by the applicable provisions of such option.

(b) In the event of a Prohibited Transfer, each Series A Holder shall have the right to sell to such Selling Shareholder the type and number of Ordinary Shares or Series A Shares equal to the number of shares each Selling Shareholder would have been entitled to Transfer to the third-party transferee(s) under Article 65(2) had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the Articles herein (assuming no Series A Holders had elected to become Purchasing Holders). Such sale shall be made on the following terms and conditions:

(i) The price per share at which the shares are to be sold to such Selling Shareholder shall be equal to the price per share paid by the third-party transferee(s) to such Selling Shareholder in the Prohibited Transfer. The Selling Shareholder shall also reimburse each Series A Holder for any and all fees and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Series A Holder’s rights under Article 65.

(ii) Within ninety (90) days after the later of the dates on which the Series A Holder (A) received notice of the Prohibited Transfer or (B) otherwise became aware of the Prohibited Transfer, each Series A Holder shall, if exercising the option created hereby, deliver to such Selling Shareholder the certificate or certificates representing shares to be sold, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer.

(iii) The Selling Shareholder shall, upon receipt of the certificate or certificates for the shares to be sold by a Series A Holder, pursuant to this Article 65(5), pay the aggregate purchase price therefor and the amount of reimbursable fees and expenses, as specified in Article 65(5)(b)(i), in cash or by other means acceptable to such Series A Holder.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any attempt by such Selling Shareholder to Transfer Offered Shares in violation of Article 65 herein shall be void and the Company shall not effect such a Transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee(s) as the holder of such shares without the written consent of a majority in equity interest of the Series A Holders.


(6) Drag-Along Rights.

(a) For so long as the holders of the Series A Shares hold no less than fifty percent (50%) of the Series A Shares subscribed for on the Series A-1 Original Issue Date and/or the Series A-2 Original Issue Date, as the case may be, if, at any time after January 1, 2008, there shall be an offer to purchase all or substantially all of the equity or assets of any or all of the Group Companies, or the business conducted by them, with total gross proceeds (before expenses) of not less than forty (40) times the audited consolidated net income of the Company for the last available preceding year (determined in accordance with the US GAAP), in cash or other consideration (a “Drag-Along Sale”), then the holders of a majority of the Series A Shares (on an as converted basis) (the “Initiating Shareholders”) shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Company jointly executed by the Initiating Shareholders setting forth the material terms and conditions of the sale stated in paragraph (ii) below (the “Drag-Along Notice”), to require the holders of the Ordinary Shares (the “Dragged Holders”) to sell all of their Ordinary Shares to the third party purchasers upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Drag-Along Notice. In such event, each Dragged Holder shall vote all of its shares in the Company in favor of such transaction, shall cause any Director under his or her control or influence to vote in favor of such transaction, shall execute any agreements or instruments and shall take such other steps and provide such other cooperation and assistance as may reasonably be necessary or requested by the Initiating Shareholders in order to consummate the Drag-Along Sale upon the terms stated in the Drag-Along Notice.

(i) Any such sale or disposition by the Dragged Holders shall be on the same terms and conditions, including, without limitation, as to the form of consideration, as the proposed Drag-Along Sale by the Initiating Shareholders. The Dragged Holders shall be required to make customary and usual representations and warranties in connection with the Drag-Along Sale, including, without limitation, as to their ownership and authority to sell, free of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind, the shares proposed to be transferred or sold by such persons or entities and shall, without limitation, as to time, indemnify and hold harmless to the full extent permitted by any relevant law, the Initiating Shareholders and the third party purchasers against all obligations, cost, damages, expenses, losses, judgments, assessments, or other liabilities including, without limitation, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, any court costs, costs of preparation, attorney’s fees or expenses, or any accountant’s or expert witness’ fees arising out of, in connection with or related to any breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty made by, or agreements, understandings or covenants of the Dragged Holders, as the case may be, under the terms of the agreements relating to such Drag-Along Sale.

(ii) Prior to making any Drag-Along Sale in which the Initiating Shareholders wish to exercise their rights under this Article 65, the Initiating Shareholders shall provide the Company and the Dragged Holders a Drag-Along Notice not less than thirty (30) business days prior to the proposed date of the Drag-Along Sale (the “Drag-Along Sale Date”). The Drag-Along Notice shall set forth: (i) the name and address of the third party purchasers; (ii) the proposed amount and form of consideration to be paid per share, and the terms and conditions of payment offered by each of the third party purchasers; (iii) the Drag-Along Sale Date; (iv) the number of shares held of record by the Initiating Shareholders on the date of the Drag-Along Notice which form the subject to be Transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of by the Initiating Shareholders (the “Initiating Shareholder Shares”); and (v) the number of shares of the Dragged Holders to be included in the Drag-Along Sale.


(iii) On the Drag-Along Sale Date, the Dragged Holders shall each deliver or cause to be delivered a certificate or certificates evidencing its shares to be included in the Drag-Along Sale, duly endorsed for transfer with signatures guaranteed, to such third party purchasers in the manner and at the address indicated in the Drag-Along Notice.

(iv) If the Dragged Holders receive the purchase price for their shares or such purchase price is made available to them as part of a Drag-Along Sale and, in either case, they fail to deliver certificates evidencing their shares as described in this Article 65, they shall for all purposes be deemed no longer to be a shareholder of the relevant Group Company (with the record books of the Group Company including, as appropriate, its register of members updated to reflect such status), shall have no voting rights, shall not be entitled to any dividends or other distributions with respect to any shares held by them, shall have no other rights or privileges as a shareholder of the relevant Group Company and, in the event of liquidation of the relevant Group Company, their rights with respect to any consideration they would have received if they had complied with this Article 65, if any, shall be subordinate to the rights of any equity holder. In addition, upon demand by the Initiating Shareholders and in addition to any other rights or remedies of the Initiating Shareholders granted herein or otherwise, the relevant Group Company shall stop any subsequent Transfer of any such shares held by the Dragged Holders.

(b) In the event the Initiating Shareholders exercise the drag-along rights provided in Article 65(6)(a) above, and any Dragged Holder delivers written notice within five (5) Business Days following receipt of a Drag Along Notice that they will purchase all, but not less than all, of the Initiating Shareholder Shares, at the same price as each Initiating Shareholder would have received for the sale of its Initiating Shareholder Shares in the Drag-Along Sale, the Initiating Shareholders shall sell such Initiating Shareholder Shares to such Dragged Holder, provided, that the Initiating Shareholders in such sale will make no representations and warranties except those in relation to their ownership interests in the Initiating Shareholder Shares. Payment shall be made to each Initiating Shareholder via cashier’s check or wire transfer within ten (10) Business Days of the Dragged Holder’s notification to the Initiating Shareholders of their agreement to purchase all of the Initiating Shareholder Shares. In the event any Dragged Holder delivers written notice to the Initiating Shareholders to purchase all of the Initiating Shareholder Shares, but fails to deliver the payment or complete the purchase within said ten (10) Business Days, such Dragged Holder shall be liable to the Initiating Shareholders for all damages relating to or arising from such failure.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles, if the Company is actively pursuing a Qualified Public Offering and provides written notice thereof to the Initiating Shareholders within ten (10) business days following receipt of a Drag Along Notice, the provisions of this Article 65(6) shall not apply. For the purposes of this Article 65(6), “actively pursuing” means (i) the Board, including at least one (1) of the Series A Directors, has within the past six (6) months authorized the Company’s management to select and engage, on behalf of the Company, an investment bank to act as managing underwriter in connection with its Qualified Public Offering, or (ii) an investment bank has been engaged as managing underwriter in connection with the Company’s Qualified Public Offering and continues to work on such Qualified Public Offering.

(7) Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions on Ordinary Shareholder’s Transfers, right of first refusal, right of co-sale, and drag-along rights as provided in this Article 65 shall terminate and cease to be in effect upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering.


TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

66. Representative of Deceased Member

In the case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased Member was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased Member where the deceased Member was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognized by the Company as having any title to the deceased Member’s interest in the shares. Nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by such deceased Member with other persons. Subject to the provisions of Section 39 of the Law, for the purpose of this Article, legal personal representative means the executor or administrator of a deceased Member or such other person as the Board may in its absolute discretion decide as being properly authorised to deal with the shares of a deceased Member.

67. Registration on Death or Bankruptcy

Subject to Article 65(2), any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of any Member may be registered as a Member upon such evidence as the Board may deem sufficient or may elect to nominate some person to be registered as a transferee of such share, and in such case the person becoming entitled shall execute in favour of such nominee an instrument of transfer in the form, or as near thereto as circumstances admit, of Form “D” in the Schedule hereto. On the presentation thereof to the Board, accompanied by such evidence as the Board may require to prove the title of the transferor, the transferee shall be registered as a Member but the Board shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration pursuant to these Articles as it would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before such Member’s death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.

DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

68. Declaration of Dividends by the Board

(1) The Board may, subject to these Articles (particularly Article 52) and any direction of the Company in general meeting declare a dividend to be paid to the Members, in proportion to the number of shares held by them and paid up by them, and such dividend may be paid in cash or wholly or partly in specie in which case the Board may fix the value for distribution in specie of any assets PROVIDED that if the shares have no par value, then the dividends shall be paid equally on a per share basis.

(2) Dividends may be declared and paid out of the profits of the Company, realized or unrealized, or from any reserve set aside from profits which the Directors determine is no longer needed, or not in the same amount. With the sanction of an ordinary resolution dividends may also be declared and paid out of a share premium account or any other fund or account which can be authorised for this purpose in accordance with the Law.


(3) No dividend shall bear interest against the Company.

(4) With the sanction of an ordinary resolution of the Company the Directors may determine that a dividend shall be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets (which may consist of the shares or securities of any other company) and may settle all questions concerning such distribution. Without limiting the foregoing generality, the Directors may fix the value of such specific assets, may determine that cash payments shall be made to some members in lieu of specific assets and may vest any such specific assets in trustees on such terms as the Directors think fit.

(5) With the sanction of an ordinary resolution of the Company (or, as regards a dividend payable in respect of a class of shares, an ordinary resolution passed at a class meeting) the Directors may determine that:

(a) the persons entitled to participate in the dividend shall have a right of election to accept shares of the Company credited as fully paid in satisfaction of all or (if the Directors so specify or permit) part of their dividend entitlement; or

(b) a dividend shall be satisfied in whole or specified part by an issue of shares of the Company credited as fully paid up, subject to a right of election on the part of persons entitled to participate in the dividend to receive their dividend entitlement wholly or (if the Directors so permit) partly in cash;

and in either event the Directors may determine all questions that arise concerning the right of election, notification thereof to members, the basis and terms of issue of shares of the Company and otherwise.

69. Other Distributions

The Board may declare and make such other distributions (in cash or in specie) to the Members as may be lawfully made out of the assets of the Company.

70. Reserve Fund

The Board may from time to time before declaring a dividend set aside, out of the surplus or profits of the Company, such sum as it thinks proper as a reserve fund to be used to meet contingencies or for equalizing dividends or for any other special purpose. Pending application, such sums may be employed in the business of the Company or invested, and need not be kept separate from other assets of the Company. The Directors may also, without placing the same to reserve, carry forward any profit which they decide not to distribute.

71. Deduction of Amounts Due to the Company

The Board may deduct from the dividends or distributions payable to any Member all monies due from such Member to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.


CAPITALIZATION

72. Issue of Bonus Shares

(1) The Board may resolve to capitalize any part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Company’s share premium or other reserve accounts or to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up unissued shares to be allotted as fully paid bonus shares pro rata to the Members.

(2) The Board may resolve to capitalize any sum standing to the credit of a reserve account or sums otherwise available for dividend or distribution by applying such amounts in paying up in full partly paid shares of those Members who would have been entitled to such sums if they were distributed by way of dividend or distribution.

SHARE PREMIUM ACCOUNT

73. Subject to any direction from the Company in general meeting, the Directors may on behalf of the Company exercise all the powers and options conferred on the Company by the Law in regard to the Company’s share premium account, save that unless expressly authorised by other provisions of these Articles the sanction of an ordinary resolution shall be required for any application of the share premium account in paying dividends to members.

ACCOUNTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

74. Records of Account

(1) The Board shall cause to be kept proper records of account with respect to all transactions of the Company and in particular with respect to:

(a) all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt and expenditure relates;

(b) all sales and purchases of goods by the Company; and

(c) the assets and liabilities of the Company.

Such records of account shall be kept and proper books of account shall not be deemed to be kept with respect to the matters aforesaid if these are not kept such books as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions at such place as the Board thinks fit.

(2) Except as provided in Article 52(7), no member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company.

(3) Subject to any waiver by the Company in general meeting of the requirements of this Article, the Directors shall lay before the Company in general meeting, or circulate to members, financial statements in respect of each financial year of the Company, consisting of:

(a) a profit and loss account giving a true and fair view of the profit or loss of the Company for the financial year; and


(b) a balance sheet giving a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company at the end of the financial year;

The financial statements and the Directors’ report, together with the auditor’s report, if any, shall be laid before the Company in general meeting, or circulated to members, no later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the end of the financial year.

(4) The financial year end of the Company shall be the 31st December in each year but, subject to any direction of the Company in general meeting, the Board may from time to time prescribe some other period to be the financial year, provided that the Board may not without the sanction of an ordinary resolution prescribe or allow any financial year longer than eighteen (18) months.

AUDIT

75. Appointment of Auditor

(1) Subject to these Articles, the Company may in general meeting appoint Auditors to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting or at a subsequent extraordinary general meeting in each year, an independent representative of the Members shall be appointed by them as Auditor of the accounts of the Company. Such Auditor may be a Member but no Director, Officer or employee of the Company shall, during his or her continuance in office, be eligible to act as an Auditor of the Company.

(2) Whenever there are no Auditors appointed as aforesaid the Directors may appoint Auditors to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting or earlier removal from office by the Company in general meeting. Unless fixed by the Company in general meeting the remuneration of the Auditors shall be as determined by the Directors. Nothing in this Article shall be construed as making it obligatory to appoint Auditors.

(3) The Auditors shall make a report to the members on the accounts examined by them and on every set of financial statements laid before the Company in general meeting, or circulated to members, pursuant to this Article during the Auditors’ tenure of office.

(4) The Auditors shall have right of access at all times to the Company’s books, accounts and vouchers and shall be entitled to require from the Company’s Directors and Officers such information and explanations as the Auditors think necessary for the performance of the Auditors’ duties; and, if the Auditors fail to obtain all the information and explanations which, to the best of their knowledge and belief, are necessary for the purposes of their audit, they shall state that fact in their report to the members.


(5) The Auditors shall be entitled to attend any general meeting at which any financial statements which have been examined or reported on by them are to be laid before the Company and to make any statement or explanation they may desire with respect to the financial statements.
