12.Optional Conversion.

 

The holders of the Preferred Shares shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

12.1.Right to Convert.

 

12.1.1.Conversion Ratio. Each Preferred Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares as is determined by dividing (i) in the case of the Class E Preferred Shares, the Class E Original Issue Price by the Class E Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion; (ii) in the case of the Class D Preferred Shares, the Class D Original Issue Price by the Class D Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion; (iii) in the case of the Class C-2 Preferred Shares, the Class C-2 Original Issue Price by the Class C-2 Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion, (iv) in the case of the Class C Preferred Shares, the Class C Original Issue Price by the Class C Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion, (v) in the case of the Class B Preferred Shares, the Class B Original Issue Price by the Class B Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion, and (vi) in the case of the Class A Preferred Shares, the Class A Original Issue Price by the Class A Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Class E Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $41.11. The “Class D Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $12.32065. The “Class C-2 Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $9.6613. The “Class C Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $4.9. The “Class B Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $2.2523. The “Class A Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $0.9617. Such Class E Conversion Price, Class D Conversion Price, Class C-2 Conversion Price, Class C Conversion Price, Class B Conversion Price, and Class A Conversion Price, and the rate at which Class E Preferred Shares, Class D Preferred Shares, Class C-2 Preferred Shares, Class C Preferred Shares, Class B Preferred Shares, and Class A Preferred Shares may be converted into shares, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.

 

12.1.2.Termination of Conversion Rights. In the event of a Liquidation Event or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Class A Preferred Shares, Class B Preferred Shares, Class C Preferred Shares, Class C-2 Preferred Shares, Class D Preferred Shares or the Class E Preferred Shares, as applicable.

 

12.2.Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred 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 fair market value of a share of Common Shares as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of Preferred Shares the holder is at the time converting into Common Shares and the aggregate number of shares issuable upon such conversion.

 

12.3.Mechanics of Conversion.

 

12.3.1.Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Preferred Shares to voluntarily convert Preferred Shares into shares, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such Preferred Shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Preferred Shares (or at the principal office of the Company if the Company serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Preferred Shares represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares to be issued. If required by the Company, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Company if the Company serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, issue and deliver to such holder of Preferred Shares, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, a certificate for the number (if any) of the Preferred Shares represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Shares, and cash as provided in Subsection ‎12.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion and payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Shares converted.

 

12

 

 

12.3.2.Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times when Preferred Shares shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, such number of its duly authorized shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Shares, the Company shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Memorandum or the Articles. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Class A Conversion Price, Class B Conversion Price, Class C Conversion Price, Class C-2 Conversion Price, Class D Conversion Price or Class E Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares at such adjusted Class A Conversion Price, Class B Conversion Price, Class C Conversion Price, Class C-2 Conversion Price, Class D Conversion Price, or Class E Conversion Price.

 

12.3.3.Effect of Conversion. All Preferred Shares which shall have been surrendered for conversion as provided in this Memorandum shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any Preferred Shares so converted shall be cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such class, and the Company may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for shareholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of Preferred Shares accordingly.

 

12.3.4.No Further Adjustment. Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Class A Conversion Price, Class B Conversion Price, Class C Conversion Price, Class C-2 Conversion Price, Class D Conversion Price, or Class E Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Class A Preferred Shares, Class B Preferred Shares, Class C Preferred Shares, Class C-2 Conversion Price, Class D Conversion Price, or Class E Conversion Price as applicable, surrendered for conversion or on the Common Shares delivered upon conversion.

 

12.3.5.Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares upon conversion of Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section ‎12. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares in a name other than that in which the Preferred Shares so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.

 

12.4.Adjustments to Class E Conversion Price, Class D Conversion Price, Class C Conversion Price and Class C-2 Conversion Price for Diluting Issues.

18

 

 

12.5.Adjustment for Shares Splits and Combinations.

Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

12.6.Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Class E Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Shares in additional shares, then and in each such event the Class A Conversion Price, Class B Conversion Price, Class C Conversion Price, Class C-2 Conversion Price, Class D Conversion Price and the Class E Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Class A Conversion Price, the Class B Conversion Price, the Class C Conversion Price, the Class C-2 Conversion Price, Class D Conversion Price, or the Class E Conversion Price as applicable, then in effect by a fraction:

 

(1)the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

Upon either (a) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified in writing by the Preferred C, C-2, D and E Majority, or (b) the closing of an IPO approved by the Board of Directors provided that (1) the price of the Common Shares is at least $19.32 per share plus any declared but unpaid dividends (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any shares dividend, shares split, combination or other similar event affecting such shares) and such offering results in at least $50,000,000 of gross proceeds, net of the underwriting discount and commissions, to the Company; and (2) the Common Shares is listed for trading on either the New York Shares Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market or other stock exchange approved by the Company’s Board of Directors including the Class C Director (the time of such closing or the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such vote or written consent is referred to in this Memorandum as the “Mandatory Conversion Time”) (a “QPO”), (i) all outstanding Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into Common Shares, at the then effective conversion ratio of each class of Preferred Shares and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Company; provided, however, that if the price per share in such QPO will be less than 1.5 times the Class E Original Issue Price, the Conversion of the Class E Preferred Shares shall also require the consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Class E Preferred Shares.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a conversion of all Preferred Shares pursuant to Section ‎13.1(a),

 

(i)and the Company consummates a Deemed Liquidation Event prior to an IPO, THEN, the Distributable Assets payable to the holders of Class E Preferred Shares in such Deemed Liquidation Event shall not be less than the Distributable Assets that would have been paid to the holders of Class E Preferred Shares in such Deemed Liquidation Event had the Class E Preferred Shares not been converted into Common Shares.

 

(ii)if such conversion is effected in conjunction with an IPO which does not qualify as a QPO, and the price per share in such IPO is lower than the Class E Original Issue Price, then immediately prior to the closing of such IPO, the Class E Preferred Shares conversion price (and consequently the conversion ratio) shall be adjusted based on the mechanism described under Section 12.4.5Error! Reference source not found.. (i.e. the price per share in such IPO shall be deemed to be the issuance of Additional Shares).

 

21

 

 

13.2.Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of Preferred Shares shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section ‎13. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of Preferred Shares shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Company at the place designated in such notice, and shall thereafter receive certificates for the number of shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section ‎13. At the Mandatory Conversion Time, all outstanding Preferred Shares shall be deemed to have been converted into shares, which shall be deemed to be outstanding of record, and all rights with respect to the Preferred Shares so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Shares), will terminate, except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the last sentence of this Subsection ‎13.2. If so required by the Company, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, together with cash as provided in Subsection ‎12.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Shares converted.

 

13.3.Effect of Mandatory Conversion. All Preferred Shares shall, from and after the Mandatory Conversion Time, no longer be deemed to be outstanding and, notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates for such shares on or prior to such time, all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Such converted Preferred Shares shall be cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such class, and the Company may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for shareholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of Preferred Shares accordingly.

 

14.Redemption Mechanics.

 

14.1.Redemption Notice. Upon the occurrence of the event described in Subsection ‎(b)‎10.7.2(b), a written notice of the mandatory redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) shall be sent to each holder of record of Preferred Shares not less than 40 days prior to each redemption date (the date of each such installment being referred to as a “Redemption Date”). Each Redemption Notice shall state:

 

(a)the number of Preferred Shares held by the holder that the Company shall redeem on the Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice;

 

(b)the Redemption Date and the price being paid per share (the “Redemption Price”);

14.2.Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each holder of Preferred Shares to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, unless such holder has exercised his, her or its right to convert such shares as provided in Section ‎12, shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Company, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed Preferred Shares shall promptly be issued to such holder.

 

22

 

 

14.3.Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the applicable Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the Preferred Shares to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the Preferred Shares so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such Preferred Shares shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor.

1.1Every person whose name is entered as a member in the share register, being the holder of registered shares, shall without payment (except where otherwise noted) be entitled to a share certificate in the following circumstances:

 

(a)on the issuance of such shares to such member;

 

(b)on the transfer of such shares to such member;

 

(c)on a re-designation or conversion of such shares with the effect that the certificate previously issued no longer properly describes such shares;

 

(d)at the discretion of the directors (who may levy a reasonable charge), on notice to the Company of a change of name of the member; and

 

(e)pursuant to the Memorandum.

 

1.2Such certificate shall be signed by a director or under the common seal of the Company (which the registered agent of the Company is authorised to affix to such certificate) with or without the signature of any director or officer of the Company specifying the share or shares held and the par value thereof (if the Company is authorised at the relevant time to issue shares with a par value), provided that in respect of shares held jointly by several persons, the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate and delivery of a certificate for a share to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all.

 

1.3If a certificate is worn out or lost it may, subject to the prior written consent of any mortgagee or chargee whose interest has been noted on the register of members, be renewed on production of the worn out certificate, or on satisfactory proof of its loss together with such indemnity as the directors may reasonably require. Any member receiving a share certificate shall indemnify and hold the Company and its officers harmless from any loss or liability which it or they may incur by reason of wrongful or fraudulent use or representation made by any person by virtue of the possession of such a certificate.

 

2Issue of Shares

 

2.1Subject to the provisions of the Memorandum and these Articles, the unissued shares of the Company (whether forming part of the original or any increased authorised shares) shall be at the disposal of the directors who may offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of them to such persons at such times and for such consideration, being not less than the par value (if any) of the shares being disposed of, and upon such terms and conditions as the directors may determine. Such consideration may take any form acceptable to the directors, including money, a promissory note, or other written obligation to contribute money or property, real property, personal property (including goodwill and know-how), services rendered or a contract for future services. Before issuing shares for a consideration other than money, the directors shall pass a Resolution of Directors stating:

 

(a)the amount to be credited for the issue of the shares;

 

28

 

 

(b)their determination of the reasonable present cash value of the non-money consideration for the issue; and

 

(c)that, in their opinion, the present cash value of the non-money consideration for the issue is not less than the amount to be credited for the issue of the shares.

 

2.2Subject to the provisions of the Memorandum and the Act in this regard, shares may be issued on the terms that they are redeemable, or at the option of the Company be liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as the directors before or at the time of the issue of such shares may determine.

 

2.3The Company may issue bonus shares, partly paid shares and nil paid shares.

 

2.4The directors may redeem any share issued by the Company at a premium.

3.2Where a written Notice of Call has been issued under the foregoing Article and the requirements of the Notice of Call have not been complied with, the directors may, at any time before tender of payment, forfeit and cancel the shares to which the Notice of Call relates. The Company is under no obligation to refund any moneys to the member whose shares have been cancelled pursuant to this Article and that member shall be discharged from any further obligation to the Company.

 

4Transfer of Shares

 

4.1Subject to the Memorandum and the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement and the Third Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, shares in the Company shall be transferred by a written instrument of transfer signed by the transferor and containing the name and address of the transferee. The instrument of transfer shall also be signed by the transferee if registration as a holder of the shares imposes a liability to the Company on the transferee. The instrument of transfer of a registered share shall be sent to the Company for registration.

 

29

 

 

4.2Subject to the Memorandum, these Articles and to section 54(5) of the Act, the Company shall, on receipt of an instrument of transfer, enter the name of the transferee of the share in the register of members unless the directors resolve to refuse or delay the registration of the transfer for reasons that shall be specified in the resolution. Where the directors pass such a resolution, the Company shall send to the transferor and the transferee a notice of the refusal or delay. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Memorandum or Articles, the directors shall not decline to register any transfer of shares, nor may they suspend registration thereof where such transfer is:

 

(a)to any mortgagee or chargee whose interest has been noted on the register of members;

 

(b)by any such mortgagee or chargee, pursuant to the power of sale under its security; or

 

(c)by any such mortgagee or chargee in accordance with the terms of the relevant security document.

 

4.3The transfer of a registered share is effective when the name of the transferee is entered in the register of members.

 

5Mortgages of Shares and Charges over Shares

 

5.1Subject to the Memorandum, members may mortgage or create a charge or other form of security over their shares.

 

5.2The directors shall, at the written request of a member who has mortgaged or created a charge over his shares, enter in the register of members of the Company:

 

(a)a statement that such shares are mortgaged or charged;

 

(b)the name of the mortgagee or chargee (where such information has been stated by the member); and

 

(c)the date on which the statement and name are entered in the register of members.

 

6Transmission of Shares

 

6.1Subject to sections 52(2) and 53 of the Act, the executor or administrator of a deceased member, the guardian of an incompetent member or the trustee of a bankrupt member shall be the only person recognised by the Company as having any title to his share, save that and only in the event of death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member or members of the Company as a consequence of which the Company no longer has any directors or members, then upon the production of any documentation which is reasonable evidence of the applicant being entitled to:

 

(a)a grant of probate of the deceased’s will, or grant of letters of administration of the deceased’s estate, or confirmation of the appointment as executor or administrator (as the case may be, or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction), of a deceased member’s estate;

 

(b)the appointment of a guardian (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction) of an incompetent member;

 

(c)the appointment as trustee (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction) of a bankrupt member; or

 

(d)upon production of any other reasonable evidence of the applicant’s beneficial ownership of, or entitlement to the shares,

 

to the Company’s registered agent in the British Virgin Islands together with (if so requested by the registered agent) a notarised copy of the share certificate(s) of the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt member, an indemnity in favour of the registered agent and/or appropriate legal advice in respect of any document issued by a foreign court, then the administrator, executor, guardian or trustee in bankruptcy (as the case may be) notwithstanding that their name has not been entered in the share register of the Company, may by written resolution of the applicant, endorsed with written approval by the registered agent, be appointed a director of the Company and/or entered in the share register as the legal and/or beneficial owner of the shares.

 

30

 

 

6.2Without limiting the foregoing, the production to the Company of any document which is reasonable evidence of:

 

(a)a grant of probate of the will, or grant of letters of administration of the estate, or confirmation of the appointment as executor (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction), of a deceased member;

 

(b)the appointment of a guardian (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction) of an incompetent member;

 

(c)the trustee (or analogous position in the relevant jurisdiction) of a bankrupt member; or

 

(d)the applicant’s legal and/or beneficial ownership of the shares,

 

shall be accepted by the Company even if the deceased, incompetent member or bankrupt member is resident and/or domiciled outside the British Virgin Islands if the document is issued by a foreign court which had competent jurisdiction in the matter. For the purposes of establishing whether or not a foreign court had competent jurisdiction in such a matter the directors may obtain appropriate legal advice. The directors may also require an indemnity to be given by the executor, administrator, guardian, trustee in bankruptcy or the applicant.

 

6.3Any person becoming entitled by operation of law or otherwise to a share or shares in consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member may be registered as a member upon such evidence being produced as may reasonably be required by the directors. An application by any such person to be registered as a member shall for all purposes be deemed to be a transfer of shares of the deceased, incompetent or bankrupt member and the directors shall treat it as such.

 

6.4Any person who has become entitled to a share or shares in consequence of the death, incompetence or bankruptcy of any member may, instead of being registered himself, request in writing that some person to be named by him be registered as the transferee of such share or shares and such request shall likewise be treated as if it were a transfer.

 

6.5What amounts to incompetence on the part of a person is a matter to be determined by the court having regard to all the relevant evidence and the circumstances of the case.

 

7Acquisition of Own Shares

 

7.1Subject to the Memorandum, the directors may, on behalf of the Company, subject to the written consent of all the members whose shares are to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company’s own shares for such consideration as the directors consider fit, and either cancel or hold such shares as treasury shares. Shares may be purchased or otherwise acquired in exchange for newly issued shares in the Company.

 

7.2The directors shall not, unless permitted pursuant to the Act, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company’s own shares unless immediately after such purchase, redemption or other acquisition:

 

(a)the value of the Company’s assets exceeds it liabilities; and

 

(b)the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due.

 

7.3Sections 60 and 61 of the Act shall not apply to the Company.

 

31

 

 

8Treasury Shares

 

8.1Shares may only be held as treasury shares by the Company to the extent that the number of treasury shares does not exceed 50% of the shares of that class previously issued by the Company, excluding shares that have been cancelled.

 

8.2The directors may dispose of any shares held as treasury shares on such terms and conditions as they may from time to time determine.

 

9Notice of Meetings of Members

 

9.1The directors may convene meetings of the members of the Company at such times and in such manner and places (within or outside the British Virgin Islands) as the directors consider necessary or desirable, and they shall convene such a meeting upon the written request of members entitled to exercise at least nine (9) percent of the voting rights in respect of the matter for which the meeting is requested.

 

9.2Not less than seven (7) days’ notice specifying at least the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and general nature of the business to be conducted shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned to such persons whose names on the date the notice is given appear as members in the share register of the Company and are entitled to vote at the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a meeting of members held in contravention of the requirement to give notice is valid if members holding a ninety-five (95) percent majority of:

 

(a)the total voting rights on all the matters to be considered at the meeting; or

 

(b)the votes of each class or series of shares where members are entitled to vote thereon as a class or series together with an absolute majority of the remaining votes,

 

have waived notice of the meeting and, for this purpose, the presence of a member at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute waiver on his part (unless such member objects in writing before or at the meeting).

 

9.3The inadvertent failure of the directors to give notice of a meeting to a member or the fact that a member has not received a notice that has been properly given, shall not invalidate the meeting.

 

10Proceedings at Meetings of Members

 

10.1No business shall be transacted at any meeting of members unless a quorum of members is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. A quorum shall consist of the holder or holders present in person or by proxy entitled to exercise at least fifty (50) percent of the voting rights of the shares of each class or series of shares entitled to vote as a class or series thereon and the same proportion of the votes of the remaining shares entitled to vote thereon.

 

10.2A member of the Company shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of members if:

 

(a)he or his proxy participates by telephone or other electronic means; and

 

(b)all members and proxies participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

 

10.3If, within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, a quorum is not present, the meeting shall be dissolved and the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same place and time one week from the date of the original meeting. If a notice of the adjourned meeting has been given to the members, and a quorum is not present at the adjourned meeting within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, two or more members present personally or by proxy, shall be a quorum, and shall be entitled to deliberate and resolve in respect of the matters for which the meeting was convened. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall quorum be present unless holders of a majority of the Class E, D, C and C-2 Preferred Shares are present, unless the prior two validly called meetings were adjourned for lack of quorum due to the absence of the holders of a majority of the Class E, D, C and C-2 Preferred Shares.

 

32

 

 

10.4A member may attend a meeting of members personally or be represented by a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the member.

 

10.5The instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place appointed for the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be in such form as the Chairman of the meeting shall accept as properly evidencing the wishes of the member appointing the proxy, but must be in writing under the hand of the appointer unless the appointer is a corporation or other form of legal entity (other than one or more individuals holding as joint owner) in which case the instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of an individual duly authorised by such corporation or legal entity to execute the same.

 

10.6At every meeting the members present shall choose someone of their number to be the chairman (the “Chairman”). If the members are unable to choose a Chairman for any reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting shares present at the meeting shall preside as Chairman.

 

10.7The Chairman may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any 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.

 

10.8At any meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands by a simple majority of those members (or their duly appointed proxies) entitled to vote and voting on the resolution, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded:

 

(a)by the Chairman; or

 

(b)by any member present in person or by proxy and holding not less than five percent (5%) of the total voting shares issued by the Company and having the right to vote on such resolution.

 

10.9Unless a poll be so demanded, a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution has, on a show of hands been carried, and an entry to that effect in the book containing the minutes of the proceedings of the Company, shall be sufficient evidence of the fact, without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

 

10.10If a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the Chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. The demand for a poll may be withdrawn, at the discretion of the Chairman.

 

10.11On a poll, every holder of a voting share present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for every voting share of which he is the holder which confers the right to a vote on the resolution.

 

10.12In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the Chairman of the meeting at which the show of hands takes place, or at which the poll is demanded, shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

 

10.13Subject to the Memorandum or these Articles, an action that may be taken by members of the Company at a meeting of members may also be taken by Written Resolution.

 

10.14If a committee is appointed for any member who is of unsound mind, that member may vote by such committee.

 

33

 

 

11Jointly Held Shares

 

11.1Where shares are registered in the names of joint owners:

 

(a)each registered owner may be present in person or by proxy at a meeting of members and may speak as a member;

 

(b)if only one of them is present in person or by proxy, he may vote on behalf of all of them; and

 

(c)if two or more are present in person or by proxy, they must vote as one. If more than one joint owner votes in person or by proxy at any meeting of members or by Written Resolution, the vote of the joint owner whose name appears first among such voting joint holders in the share register shall alone be counted.

 

12Corporations Acting by Representatives at Meetings

 

Any corporation or other form of corporate legal entity which is a member of the Company may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the members or any class of members of the Company, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual member of the Company.

 

13Appointment and Removal of Directors

 

13.1The first director or directors shall be appointed by the registered agent of the Company. Thereafter, the holders of record of Class C and C-2 Preferred Shares, exclusively as a single and separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) director of the Company (the “Class C Director”). The holders of record of Class A Preferred Shares and Class B Preferred Shares, together as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) director of the Company (the “Class A/B Director”). The holders of record of Common Shares, exclusively as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) director of the Company (the “Common Director”).

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who shall initially be Yoni Assia will serve as a director of the Company. Any director elected as provided in the preceding sentences of this Article 13.1may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of shares entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such shareholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of shareholders. The holders of record of the shares and of any other class or series of voting shares (including the Preferred Shares), exclusively and voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect the balance of the total number of directors of the Company. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a director, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class or series entitled to elect such director shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing such director. A vacancy in any directorship filled by the holders of any class or series shall be filled only by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of such class or series or by any remaining director or directors elected by the holders of such class or series pursuant to this Article 13.1. Sections 114(2) and 114(3) of the Act shall not apply to the Company.

 

13.2A person shall not be appointed as a director of the Company unless he has consented in writing to be a director.

 

13.3Each director holds office until:

34

 

 

(b)his death;

13.6The remuneration of directors (whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise) in respect of services rendered or to be rendered in any capacity to the Company (including to any company in which the Company may be interested) shall be fixed by Resolution of Directors or Resolution of Members. The directors may also be paid such travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending and returning from meetings of the directors, or any committee of the directors or meetings of the members, or in connection with the business of the Company as shall be approved by Resolution of Directors or Resolution of Members.

 

14Alternate and Reserve Directors

 

14.1A director, by written instrument deposited at the registered office of the Company, may from time to time appoint another director or another person to be his alternate. Every such alternate shall be entitled to be given notice of meetings of the directors and to attend and vote as a director at any such meeting at which the director appointing him is not personally present and generally at such meeting to have and exercise all the powers, rights, duties and authorities of the director appointing him. Every such alternate shall be deemed to be an officer of the Company and shall not be deemed to be an agent of the director appointing him. Unless stated otherwise in the notice of the appointment of the alternate, if undue delay or difficulty would be occasioned by giving notice to a director of a resolution of which his approval is sought in accordance with these Articles his alternate (if any) shall be entitled to signify approval of the same on behalf of that director. The remuneration of an alternate shall be payable out of the remuneration payable to the director appointing him, as agreed between such alternate and the director appointing him. A director, by writing under his hand deposited at the registered office of the Company, may at any time vary or revoke the appointment of an alternate appointed by him. If a director shall die or cease to hold the office of director, the appointment of his alternate shall thereupon cease and terminate.

 

35

 

 

14.2Where the Company has only one member with voting rights who is an individual and that member is also the sole director of the Company (the “sole member/director”), that sole member/director may, by instrument in writing, nominate a person who is not disqualified from being a director of the Company under section 111(1) of the Act as a reserve director of the Company to act in the place of the sole director in the event of his death. A person shall not be nominated as a reserve director unless he has consented in writing to be nominated as a reserve director. The nomination of a person as a reserve director of the Company ceases to have effect if:

 

(a)before the death of the sole member/director who nominated him:

 

(i)he resigns as reserve director, or

 

(ii)the sole member/director revokes the nomination in writing; or

 

(b)the sole member/director who nominated him ceases to be the sole member/director of the company for any reason other than his death.

15.2Notwithstanding the foregoing Article, if the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary, a director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of that Company’s holding company (as defined in the Act) even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company.

 

15.3A director shall exercise his powers as a director for a proper purpose and shall not act, or agree to the Company acting, in a manner that contravenes the Act or the Memorandum or Articles.

 

15.4A director, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director, shall exercise the care, diligence, and skill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account, but without limitation:

 

(a)the nature of the Company;

 

(b)the nature of the decision; and

 

(c)the position of the director and the nature of the responsibilities undertaken by him.

 

15.5A director of the Company, when exercising his powers or performing his duties as a director, is entitled to rely upon the register of members and upon books, records, financial statements and other information prepared or supplied, and on professional or expert advice given, by:

 

(a)an employee of the Company whom the director believes on reasonable grounds to be reliable and competent in relation to the matters concerned;

 

(b)a professional adviser or expert in relation to matters which the director believes on reasonable grounds to be within the person’s professional or expert competence; and

 

(c)any other director, or committee of directors upon which the director did not serve, in relation to matters within the director’s or committee’s designated authority,

 

provided that the director:

 

(d)acts in good faith;

 

(e)makes proper inquiry where the need for the inquiry is indicated by the circumstances; and

 

(f)has no knowledge that his reliance on the register of members or the books, records, financial statements and other information or expert advice is not warranted.

 

15.6A director may hold any other office or position of profit under the Company (except that of auditor) in conjunction with his office of director, and may act in a professional capacity to the Company on such terms as to remuneration and otherwise as the directors shall approve.

 

36

 

 

15.7A director may be or become a director or officer of, or otherwise be interested in any company promoted by the Company, or in which the Company may be interested, as a member or otherwise and no such director shall be accountable for any remuneration or other benefits received by him as director or officer or from his interest in such other company. The directors may also exercise the voting powers conferred by the shares in any other company held or owned by the Company in such manner in all respects as they think fit, including the exercise thereof in favour of any resolutions appointing them, or of their number, directors or officers of such other company, or voting or providing for the payment of remuneration to the directors or officers of such other company. A director may vote in favour of the exercise of such voting rights in the manner aforesaid notwithstanding that he may be, or be about to become, a director or officer of such other company, and as such in any other manner is, or may be, interested in the exercise of such voting rights in the manner aforesaid.

 

15.8No director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company either as a buyer, seller or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any director shall be in any way interested be voided, nor shall any director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by any such contract or arrangement, by reason of such director holding that office or by reason of the fiduciary relationship thereby established, provided such director shall, immediately after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company, disclose such interest to the board of directors. For the purposes of this Article:

 

(a)a director of the Company is not required to make such a disclosure if:

 

(i)the transaction or proposed transaction is between the director and the Company; and

 

(ii)the transaction or proposed transaction is or is to be entered into in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and on usual terms and conditions;

 

(b)a disclosure to the board to the effect that a director is a member, director, officer or trustee of another named company or other person and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction which may, after the date of the entry or disclosure, be entered into with that company or person, is a sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to that transaction. Such a disclosure is not made to the board unless it is made or brought to the attention of every director on the board; and

 

(c)subject to section 125(1) of the Act, the failure by a director to comply with this Article does not affect the validity of a transaction entered into by the director or the Company.

(a)vote on a matter relating to the transaction;

37

 

 

16Powers of Directors

 

16.1The business of the Company shall be managed by the directors who may pay all expenses incurred preliminary to and in connection with the formation and registration of the Company, and may exercise all such powers of the Company necessary for managing and for directing and supervising, the business and affairs of the Company as are not by the Act or by the Memorandum or these Articles required to be exercised by the members, subject to any delegation of such powers as may be authorised by these Articles and permitted by the Act and to such requirements as may be prescribed by Resolution of the Members, but no requirement made by Resolution of the Members shall prevail if it be inconsistent with these Articles nor shall such requirement invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such requirement had not been made.

17.4The directors of the Company may, by Resolution of Directors, appoint officers of the Company at such times as shall be considered necessary or expedient.

A director shall be given not less than three (3) business days’ (being full business days in the place of the director’s residence) notice of a meeting of the directors, save that a meeting of directors held on less notice is valid if a majority of the directors (including the Class C Director) entitled to vote at the meeting have waived the notice of the meeting; and, for this purpose, the presence of a director at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute waiver on his part (unless he objects in writing before or at the meeting).

 

18.3The inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a director, or the fact that a director has not received the notice, shall not invalidate the meeting.

 

18.4Any director who is a body corporate may appoint any person its duly authorised representative for the purpose of representing it at meetings of the directors and of transacting any of the business of the directors.

 

18.5A meeting of the directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person or by alternate not less than one-third of the total number of directors with a minimum of two (2), including the Class C Director and the Common Director.

 

18.6If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting shall be dissolved. If within an hour from the time appointed for a meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day the following week, at the same time and place, or to such day and such time and place as the Chairman may determine, provided that not less than seventy two (72) hours’ written notice shall have been provided to each of the Directors of such meeting. No business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business that might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. At such adjourned meeting, any two (2) directors present in person or represented by an alternate director shall constitute a quorum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall quorum be present unless the Class C Director is present, unless the prior two validly called meetings were adjourned for lack of quorum due to the absence of the Class C Director.

 

18.7A director of the Company shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of the board if:

 

(a)he or his alternate participates by telephone or other electronic means; and

 

(b)all directors and alternates participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

 

18.8The directors may elect a chairman (the “Chairman of the Board”) of their meeting and determine the period for which he is to hold office. If no such Chairman of the Board is elected, or if at any meeting the Chairman of the Board is not present at the time appointed for holding the meeting, the directors present may choose one of their number to be Chairman of the Board for the meeting. If the directors are unable to choose a Chairman of the Board, for any reason, then the longest serving director present at the meeting shall preside as the Chairman of the Board.

 

18.9Questions arising at any meeting of directors shall be decided by a majority of votes. In case of an equality in votes the Chairman of the Board shall not have any second or casting vote.

 

18.10A resolution approved by a majority of the directors for the time being entitled to receive notice of a meeting of the directors or of a committee of the directors and taking the form of a Written Resolution shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors or of such committee duly convened and held, without the need for any notice.

 

18.11If the Company shall have only one director, the foregoing provisions for meetings of the directors shall not apply but such sole director shall have full power to represent and act for the Company in all matters and in lieu of minutes of a meeting shall record in writing and sign a note of memorandum of all matters requiring a resolution of the directors. Such note or memorandum shall constitute sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes.

19Indemnification and Insurance

 

19.1Subject to the provisions of the Act and the subsequent provisions of this Article, the Company shall indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who:

 

(a)is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director of the Company; or

 

(b)is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

 

19.2This Article applies only to a person who has acted honestly and in good faith and in what he believed to be the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The Company shall not indemnify a person who has not so acted, and any indemnity given to such a person is void and of no effect. A director acts in the best interests of the Company if he acts in the best interests of:

 

(a)the Company’s holding company; or

 

(b)a shareholder or shareholders of the Company;

 

in either case, in the circumstances specified in the sub-Articles below, as the case may be.

 

19.3The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

19.4Expenses, including legal fees, incurred by a director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with this Article.

 

19.5Expenses, including legal fees, incurred by a former director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the former director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the former director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in accordance with this Article and upon such other terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate.

 

19.6The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article is not exclusive of any other rights to which the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, resolution of members, resolution of disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to acting in the person’s official capacity and as to acting in another capacity while serving as a director of the Company.

 

19.7The Company may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director of the Company, or who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability under the foregoing Article.

20Exclusive Jurisdiction of the Courts of the British Virgin Islands

 

Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the courts of the British Virgin Islands shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s members, or (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of British Virgin Islands law or the Memorandum or these Articles, or (c) any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 20.

 

21Company Seal and Entry into Contracts and Deeds

 

21.1The directors shall provide for the safe custody of the common seal of the Company. The common seal when affixed to any instrument (save for a share certificate in accordance with these Articles) shall be witnessed by a director or officer of the Company or any other person so authorised from time to time by the directors.

 

21.2A contract may be entered into by the Company as follows:

 

(a)a contract that, if entered into by an individual, would be required by law to be in writing and under seal, may be entered into by or on behalf of the Company in writing under the common seal of the Company, or executed by or on behalf of the Company by a director or an authorised agent of the Company, and may be varied or discharged in the same manner;

 

(b)a contract that, if entered into by an individual, would be required by law to be in writing and signed, may be entered into by or on behalf of the Company in writing and signed by a person acting under the express or implied authority of the company, and may be varied or discharged in the same manner; and

 

(c)a contract that, if entered into by an individual, would be valid although entered into orally, and not reduced to writing, may be entered into orally by or on behalf of the Company by a person acting under the express or implied authority of the Company, and may be varied or discharged in the same manner.

 

21.3Notwithstanding the foregoing Article, an instrument is validly executed by the Company as a deed, or an instrument under seal, if it is either:

 

(a)sealed with the common seal of the Company and witnessed by a director of the Company and/or such other person who is authorised by the Memorandum or Articles to witness the application of the Company’s seal; or

 

(b)expressed to be, or is expressed to be executed as, or otherwise makes clear on its face that it is intended to be, a deed and it is signed by a director and/or by a person acting under the express or implied authority of the Company.

 

22Distributions

 

22.1Subject to the provisions of the Memorandum and the Act, the directors of a Company may, by Resolution of Directors, authorise a distribution by the Company at a time, and of an amount, and to any members they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds that, immediately after the distribution, the value of the Company’s assets will exceed the Company’s liabilities and the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due.

22.2No distribution shall be paid on those shares which are held by the Company as treasury shares at the date of declaration of the distribution.

 

22.3The directors may, before recommending any distribution, set aside out of the profits of the Company such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at their discretion, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the directors may from time to time think fit.

 

22.4If several persons are registered as joint holders of any share, any of them may give effectual receipt for any distribution or other monies payable on or in respect of the share.

 

22.5Notice of any distribution that may have been declared shall be given to each member in manner hereinafter mentioned and all distributions unclaimed for three years after having been declared may be forfeited by the directors for the benefit of the Company.
