Conversion Rights
 
 
5.3.5.1.
Right to Convert, Automatic Conversion
 
5.3.5.1.1.         Each Preferred Share shall be convertible at the option of the respective holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Company, into such number of Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing its then applicable Original Issue Price by its then applicable Conversion Price (as defined hereinafter). The conversion price for each Preferred Share (other than Preferred D Shares) shall initially be the Original Issue Price of such share, and the conversion price of each Preferred D Share shall initially be US$9.38; and provided further, that the applicable conversion price of each series of Preferred Shares (i) shall be subject to proportional adjustment upon the occurrence of any Recapitalization Event as a result of which the number of outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Shares is proportionately increased or decreased, and (ii) shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions set forth below in this Article 5.3.5 (the initial conversion price of a Preferred Share, as may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of these Articles, the "Conversion Price").
 
5.3.5.1.2.         Anything in these Articles to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the earlier of: (i) immediately prior to and conditioned upon the consummation of a Qualified IPO; or (ii)  the date specified in a written consent of the holders of at least 70% of voting power represented by the then issued and outstanding Preferred Shares (voting together as one class, on an as-converted basis), including the consent of the holders of at least a majority of each of the series of Preferred Shares (other than the Series A Preferred Shares) then outstanding, delivered to the Company, all issued and outstanding Preferred Shares shall automatically be converted into such number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing the then applicable Original Issue Price by the then applicable Conversion Price of each such series of Preferred Shares (and all then outstanding rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, Preferred Shares, shall automatically become convertible, exercisable or exchangeable solely for and into such number of Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing the then applicable Original Issue Price by the then applicable Conversion Price of the series of Preferred Shares underlying such rights, options or warrants).

5.3.5.2.
Mechanics of Conversion; Effect; Taxes
 
5.3.5.2.1.         Before any holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into Ordinary Shares, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company, and (in the case of a conversion at the option of the holder) shall give written notice to the Company of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names of any nominee for such holder in which the certificate or certificates for Ordinary Shares are to be issued. In the case of a conversion at the option of the holder, 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 representing the Preferred 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 as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an IPO of the shares of the Company, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering the Preferred Shares for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing of the sale of securities pursuant to such IPO, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Shares until immediately prior to the closing of such offer of securities. If the conversion is in connection with an IPO or other automatic conversion pursuant to Article 5.3.5.1 above, then the conversion shall be deemed to have taken place automatically regardless of whether the certificates representing such shares have been tendered to the Company, but from and after such conversion any such certificates not tendered to the Company shall be deemed to evidence solely the Ordinary Shares received upon such conversion and the right to receive a certificate for such Ordinary Shares. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after conversion and tender of the certificate for the Preferred Shares converted, issue and deliver to such holder of Preferred Shares or to the nominee or nominees of such holder of Preferred Shares, a certificate or certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. In the event that the certificate(s) representing the Preferred Shares to be converted as aforesaid are not delivered to the Company, then the Company shall not be obligated to issue any certificate(s) representing the Ordinary Shares issued upon such conversion, unless the holder of such Preferred Shares notifies the Company in writing that such certificate(s) have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
 
5.3.5.2.2.         All Preferred Shares which shall have been surrendered (or deemed surrendered) for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall immediately cease and terminate at the conversion time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive Ordinary Shares in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon.
 
5.3.5.2.3.         The Company shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of Ordinary Shares upon conversion of Preferred Shares pursuant to this Article 5.3.5. 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 Ordinary 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.
 
 
5.3.5.3.
Adjustments for Share Splits and Combinations.
 
5.3.5.3.1.         If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date of any series of Preferred Shares (i) effect a subdivision of the outstanding Ordinary Shares without a comparable subdivision of all shares of such series of Preferred Shares, or (ii) combine the outstanding shares of any series of Preferred Shares without a comparable combination of the Ordinary Shares, then, and in each such event, the applicable Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Shares not comparably subdivided in the case of 5.3.5.3.1(i) or not comparably combined in the case of Article 5.3.5.3.1(ii) in effect immediately before that subdivision or combination, shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on conversion of each share of such series of Preferred Shares shall be - in the case of Article 5.3.5.3.1(i) - increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares outstanding, or shall be - in the case of Article 5.3.5.3.1(ii) - proportionately increased in reversed proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of such applicable series of Preferred Shares outstanding.
 
 
14

 
 
5.3.5.3.2.         If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date of any series of Preferred Shares (i) combine the outstanding Ordinary Shares without a comparable combination of the shares of any series of Preferred Shares, or (ii) effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of any series of Preferred Shares without a comparable subdivision of the Ordinary Shares, then the applicable Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Shares not comparably combined in the case of Article 5.3.5.3.2(i) or not comparably subdivided in the case of Article 5.3.5.3.2(ii) then in effect immediately before such combination or subdivision, shall be proportionately increased so that the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on conversion of each share of such series of Preferred Shares shall be - in the case of Article 5.3.5.3.2(i) - decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares outstanding, or shall be - in the case of Article 5.3.5.3.2(ii) - proportionately decreased in reversed proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of such series of Preferred Shares.
 
5.3.5.3.3.         If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date of any series of Preferred Shares, effect a subdivision of the outstanding Ordinary Shares with a comparable subdivision of the shares of any series of Preferred Shares, or combine the outstanding shares of any series of Preferred Shares with a comparable combination of the Ordinary Shares, then the applicable Conversion Price of such series of Preferred Shares in effect immediately before that subdivision or combination shall be proportionately adjusted so that the number of Ordinary Shares issuable on conversion of each share of such series of Preferred Shares shall not be changed as a result of such increase or decrease, as the case may be, in the aggregate numbers of Ordinary Shares and shares of such applicable series of Preferred Shares outstanding.
 
5.3.5.3.4.         Any adjustment under this Article 5.3.5.3 shall become effective on the time on which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
 
5.3.5.4.
Adjustments for Dividends and Distributions.
 
5.3.5.4.1.          Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date of any series of Preferred Shares, makes or issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional Ordinary Shares, then, and in each such event, the Conversion Price of such series of Preferred Shares 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, to that price determined by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:
 
(a)              the numerator of which shall be the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and
 
(b)              the denominator of which shall be the total number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or the close of business on such record date, plus the number of Ordinary Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;
 
provided, however, if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, such Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter such Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and provided further, however, that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of the applicable series of Preferred Shares simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of Ordinary Shares in a number equal to the number of Ordinary Shares as they would have received if all outstanding shares of such Preferred Shares had been converted into Ordinary Shares on the date of such event.
 
 
15

 
 
5.3.5.4.2.         Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject always to Articles 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 (and only if said Articles are deemed not applicable), in the event the Company, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date of any series of Preferred Shares, shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than distribution of Ordinary Shares or Preferred Shares covered by other provisions of these Articles) or in cash or other property (other than distribution of cash out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or otherwise pursuant to a Deemed Liquidation, which are covered by other provisions of these Articles), then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Preferred Shares shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the number of Ordinary Shares receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company that they would have received had such Preferred 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 conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this paragraph with respect to the rights of the holders of such Preferred Shares; provided, however, that no such provision shall be made with respect to any series of Preferred Shares if the holders of such series of Preferred Shares simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of such securities in an amount equal to the amount of such securities as they would have received if all outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Shares had been converted into Ordinary Shares on the date of such event.
 
5.3.5.5.               Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Article 5.3.2, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which the Ordinary Shares (but not the Preferred Shares) are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Article 5.3.5.4 or Article 5.3.2), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each such Preferred Share shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Ordinary Shares into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of one such Preferred Share immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Article 5.3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of such Preferred Shares to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 5.3 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price of such Preferred Shares) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of such Preferred Shares.
 
5.3.5.6.                        Sale of Shares below Share Conversion Price (Anti-dilution Protection (all Preferred except Preferred A Shares).
 
5.3.5.6.1.         If, after the Series E-2 Original Issue Date (as defined below), the Company issues, or is deemed by the express provisions of this Article 5.3.5.6 to have issued Additional Shares (as hereinafter defined) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Shares (other than the Preferred A Shares) in effect immediately prior to such issue, then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price of such applicable series of Preferred Shares shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, for no consideration, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent with half a cent being rounded up) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be (1) the number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Shares (treating for this purpose as outstanding all Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of all Options and Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to such issue, but without taking into account any additional Ordinary Shares that became issuable solely as a result of the adjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Article 5.3.5.6.1 immediately prior to such specific issuance of Additional Shares), plus (2) the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Shares, and (B) the denominator of which shall be (1) the number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Shares (treating for this purpose as outstanding all Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of all Options and Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to such issue, but without taking into account any additional Ordinary Shares that became issuable solely as a result of the adjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Article 5.3.5.6.1 immediately prior to such specific issuance of Additional Shares), plus (2) the number of such Additional Shares so issued.
 
 
16

 
 
For the foregoing case set forth in this Article 5.3.5.6.1, the formula can be expressed algebraically as follows:
 
          
where:

 
P =
Conversion Price of such Preferred Shares in effect immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Shares.

 
P' =
New adjusted Conversion Price of such Preferred Shares in effect after such issuance of Additional Shares.

 
N =
Total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issuance of Additional Shares (treating for this purpose as outstanding all Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of all Options and Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to such issue).

 
n =
Number of Additional Shares issued.

 
C =
Total amount of consideration received by the Company for the Additional Shares.
 
5.3.5.6.2.         Determination of Consideration.  For the purpose of this Article 5.3.5.6, the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any issue or sale of Additional Shares shall be computed as follows:
 
(A)               Cash and Property:  Such consideration shall (1) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the gross amount of cash received or receivable by the Company in consideration for such issuance or sale, (2) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board, and (3) if Additional Shares are issued or sold together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both, be computed as the portion of the consideration so received or receivable, computed as provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, that may be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board to be allocable to such Additional Shares.
 
 
17

 
 
(B)              Options and Convertible Securities.  The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares deemed to have been issued pursuant to Article 5.3.5.6.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing
 
(x)          the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company 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, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but 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
 
(y)          the maximum number of Ordinary Shares (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but 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, 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.
 
5.3.5.6.3.         Deemed Issue of Additional Shares.
 
(A)              If the Company, at any time or from time to time after the Series E-2 Original Issue Date until the IPO, shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted 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 of Ordinary Shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) 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 Additional 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.
 
(B)              If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Shares pursuant to the terms of Article 5.3.5.6.1 above, are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, then such Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause  (B) shall have the effect of increasing such Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.
 
 
18

 
 
(C)              If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Shares pursuant to the terms of Article 5.3.5.6.1 above (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Article 5.3.5.6.2) of the Additional Shares subject thereto was equal to or greater than such Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Series E-2 Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series E-2 Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Article 5.3.5.6.3(A)) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.
 
(D)              Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Shares pursuant to the terms of Article 5.3.5.6.1 above, such Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.
 
(E)              If the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Conversion Price of any series of the Preferred Shares, if and as applicable, provided for in this Article 5.3.5.6.3 shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (B) and (C) of this Article 5.3.5.6.3).  If the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Preferred Shares that would result under the terms of this Article 5.3.5.6.3 at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

For purposes of the definition of “Additional Shares”, the sale or other disposition of any shares or other securities of the Company theretofore held in its treasury shall be deemed to be an issuance thereof.
 
5.3.5.7.                        Impairment. Subject to the Company's power and authority to amend the Articles, restructure its capital, merge or enter into sale of assets transactions, dissolve itself or issue securities, the Company will not, by amendment of these Articles or through any reorganization, recapitalization, 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 in this Article 5.3.5 by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 5.3.5 and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares against impairment.

21

 
 
5.3.5.11.                        Adjustments Cumulative. Each of the adjustments pursuant to this Article 5.3.5 shall be applied individually and cumulatively upon the occurrence of any of the events specified therein, and shall apply from and after the date of these Articles of Association to all registered Preferred Shares.

5.4.
Increase of Share Capital
 
Subject to Article 5.3.4 above, the Company may, from time to time, by a resolution of the General Meeting adopted by an Ordinary Majority, whether or not all the shares then authorized have been issued, and whether or not all the shares theretofore issued have been called up for payment, increase its share capital by the creation of new shares. Any such increase shall be in such amount and shall be divided into shares of such nominal amounts or of no nominal amount, and such shares shall confer such rights and preferences, and shall be subject to such restrictions, as such resolution of the General Meeting shall provide.
 
5.5.      Except to the extent otherwise provided in such resolution of the General Meeting, in accordance with Article 5.3.4 above, such new shares shall be subject to all the provisions applicable to the shares of the original capital.
 
6.
Special Rights; Modifications of Rights
 
6.1.           Subject to Article 5.3.4 above, the Company may, from time to time, by a resolution of the General Meeting, authorize and/or issue shares having the same rights as existing shares or with such preferred or deferred rights or rights of redemption or different prices or other special rights and/or restrictions, whether with respect to liquidation, dividends, voting, conversion, repayment of share capital or otherwise, as may be stipulated in such resolution.
 
6.2.           If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class may be modified or abrogated by the Company, unless otherwise provided by these Articles, by a resolution of the General Meeting adopted by an Ordinary Majority, provided that any modification that would directly adversely alter the rights attached to such class shall require the consent in writing of the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued shares of such class (without excluding shares held by Shareholders holding, in addition, shares of other classes in the Company, unless the law otherwise expressly prescribes) or the sanction of a resolution of a separate General Meeting of the holders of the shares of such class adopted by an Ordinary Majority. Any resolution required to be adopted pursuant to these Articles by a separate General Meeting of a certain class of shares, shall be voted upon and adopted by an Ordinary Majority of the holders of such class entitled to vote thereon, and no holder of a certain class shall be banned, unless the law otherwise expressly prescribes, from participating and voting in a separate General Meeting of such class by virtue of being a holder of more than one class of shares of the Company, irrespective of any conflicting interests that may exist between such different classes of shares. For illustration purposes, in the event that a certain Shareholder is the holder of a Preferred A Share and Preferred B Shares whilst another shareholder is the holder of Preferred A Shares only, the Shareholder holding two classes of shares shall not be banned from voting on a resolution which adversely affects the rights of the Series A Preferred Shares Series, irrespective of the affect such change shall have on the Series B Preferred Shares. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to any applicable law, a Shareholder shall not be required to refrain from participating in the discussion or voting on any resolution concerning the modification or abrogation of the rights attached to any class of shares held by such Shareholder, due to the fact that such Shareholder may benefit in one way or another from the outcome of such resolution; e.g. a Shareholder shall be entitled to vote on the modification of rights attached to shares held by such Shareholder in a way that may benefit such holder either directly or indirectly (such as in the case of an increased financial value gained by virtue of such change).
 
 
22

 
 
6.3.           To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, and unless otherwise explicitly provided by these Articles, including without limitation, Article 5.3.4, all shareholders of the Company shall vote together as a single class, on an as-converted basis, on any matter presented to the shareholders and all matters shall require an approval by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company represented at the meeting of all shareholders of all classes voting together as a single class, on an as-converted basis, including, without limitation, any amendment to these Articles, any issuance of securities of the Company, or any transaction under Sections 341, 342 or 350 of the Israeli Companies Law. Without derogating from the foregoing, unless otherwise provided by these Articles, it is hereby clarified that:
 
(a)           The increase of the authorized and registered number of shares of an existing class of shares, or the issuance of additional shares thereof, or the creation of a new class of shares identical to an existing class of shares in all respects, except for the price per share paid for such shares, shall not be deemed, for purposes of these Articles, to directly adversely alter the rights attached to the previously issued shares of such class or of any other class;
 
(b)           The authorization or the issuance of additional shares or other equity securities of the Company having certain rights, preferences or privileges over or relative to all other shares or equity securities of the Company (e.g., the Preferred E Shares, Preferred D Shares, Preferred C Shares, Preferred B Shares, Preferred A Shares, Ordinary B Shares and the Ordinary Shares), including, without limitation, shares that have rights at Liquidation, Deemed Liquidation or Distribution of Dividends that are senior to the rights with respect to such events of all existing Preferred Shares, shall not be deemed to be modifying or abrogating the rights, powers and privileges attached to the previously issued shares of any existing class, provided that the rights, preferences or privileges attached to such additional shares or other equity securities apply in the same manner vis-a-vis all other existing series or classes of shares, without a different application to different classes, even though the result of such equal application may be different with respect to different shareholders due to the number of shares held by them and/or even though such an issuance will change the economic value of the existing shares (but not the legal rights of such shares, as illustrated by the example set forth in sub-Article 6.2.2(c) below), and shall not be subject to the approval of a separate class vote of the holders of the shares of any particular class; and
 
(c)           The authorization of a new series of shares or class of shares, or the issuance of such shares, shall not be deemed, for any purpose hereunder, to modify or abrogate the rights attached to an existing class of shares if the rights attached to the new class of shares apply in the same manner vis-a-vis all other existing series or classes of shares, without a different application to different classes, even though the result of such equal application may be different with respect to different Shareholders due to the number of shares held by them and/or even though such an issuance will change the economic value of the existing shares (but not the legal rights of such shares – for example, if (i) the holders of the Ordinary Shares are entitled to appoint one Director; (ii) the Board consists of 5 members; and (iii) the Company issues a new class of shares (Preferred F Shares) which are entitled to appoint a Director, and to enable such an appointment, the Articles are amended to provide that the Board may consist of 6 members, then, in such an event, such an act will not be deemed to change, modify or abrogate the rights and powers attached to the Ordinary Shares (as the holders thereof will continue to hold the power to appoint one Director), even if one may argue that the economic value of the Ordinary Shares was decreased by such an act (the holders can then appoint one out of three members to the Board).
 
 
23

 
 
6.4.           The Preferred E Shares shall be deemed one class of shares irrespective to the Original Issue Price or Conversion Price applicable to each such share, and, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 20(c) of the Companies Law, (i) other than as specifically set forth in these Articles, the Series E-1 Preferred Shares and Series E-2 Preferred Shares shall, without limitation, have identical rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions for all intents and purposes; (ii) in the event that a vote of a series of Preferred E Shares is required under applicable law, the Series E-1 Preferred Shares and the Series E-2 Preferred Shares shall be deemed to constitute one series and shall vote together as one series on any matter which is subject to the vote of holders of the Series E-1 Preferred Shares or the Series E-2 Preferred Shares; and (iii) a separate class vote of each of the Series E-1 Preferred Shares and Series E-2 Preferred Shares shall not be required in order to amend or waive the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed upon the Series E-1 Preferred Shares and/or Series E-2 Preferred Shares, respectively, if such amendment or waiver is made in respect of the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of one of such series of Preferred E Shares (e.g. the Series E-1 Preferred Shares or the Series E-2 Preferred Shares) while correspondingly amending or waiving the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the other of such series of Preferred E Shares (i.e. the Series E-2 Preferred Shares or the Series E-1 Preferred Shares, respectively); provided however, that in the event that any proposed amendment or waiver would alter or change the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of 1 series of Preferred E Shares so as to affect them adversely or favorably, but shall not so affect the entire class of Preferred E Shares, then (A) the shares of the 1 series so affected adversely or favorably by such amendment or waiver (such affected series together, as a single class) shall be considered for such purpose as a separate class (the "Differently Affected First Class"), and such amendment or waiver shall require a separate class vote of such Differently Affected First Class, and (B) the shares of the other series not so affected adversely or favorably by such amendment or waiver (such unaffected series together, as a single class) shall be considered for such purpose as a separate class (the "Differently Affected Second Class"), and such amendment or waiver shall require a separate class vote of such Differently Affected Second Class.
 
6A.           Restructure of Share Capital.
 
(a)           Subject to Article 5.3.4, if at any time, a restructure of the Company’s issued or unissued share capital is effectuated (a “Restructure”), and as a result of such Restructure the rights attached to one or more classes of shares are modified or abrogated, then, such Restructure shall require the consent of the holders of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of such affected class (or classes as the case may be), which shall be obtained at a separate General Meeting of such class (in addition to such other approvals requires under these Articles or applicable law).
 
(b)           Subject to Article 5.3.4, in the event that such Restructure can be consummated in more than one manner (such as by means of arrangement proceedings approved by a court of law, or alternatively by means of amendment of the Company’s corporate documents), the sole and absolute discretion in determining the manner by which such Restructure shall be consummated shall vest in the Company’s Board of Directors.
 
7.
Consolidation, Subdivision, Cancellation and Reduction of Share Capital
 
7.1.           The Company may, from time to time, by a resolution of the General Meeting and subject to the provisions of Article 5.3.4 above:
 
(a)       Consolidate and divide all or any of its issued or unissued share capital into shares of larger nominal value than its existing shares;
 
 
24

 
 
(b)       Subdivide its shares (issued or unissued) or any of them into shares of smaller nominal value than is fixed by these Articles (subject to the provisions of the Companies Law), and the resolution whereby any share is subdivided may determine that, as among the holders of the shares resulting from such subdivision, one or more of the shares may, as compared with the others, have any such preferred or deferred rights or rights of redemption or other special rights, or be subject to any such restrictions, as the Company has power to attach to unissued or new shares.
 
(c)       Cancel any shares which, at the date of the adoption of such resolution of the General Meeting, have not been allotted, so long as the Company is not under an obligation to allot these shares, and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled; or
 
(d)       Reduce its share capital in any manner, and with and subject to any incident authorized, and consent required, by Law.
 
7.2.              With respect to any consolidation of issued shares, and with respect to any other action which may result in fractional shares, including upon conversion of any Preferred Shares, the Board may settle any difficulty which may arise with regard thereto, as it deems appropriate, including, inter alia, resort to one or more of the following actions:
 
(a)       Determine, as to the holder of shares so consolidated, which issued shares shall be consolidated into each consolidated share;
 
(b)       Allot, in contemplation of or subsequent to such consolidation or other action, such shares or fractional shares sufficient to preclude or remove fractional share holdings;
 
(c)       Redeem, in the case of redeemable shares, and subject to applicable Law, such shares or fractional shares sufficient to preclude or remove fractional share holdings;
 
(d)       Cause the transfer of fractional shares by certain Shareholders to other Shareholders, who are the Permitted Transferees thereof, so as to most expediently preclude or remove any fractional shareholdings, and cause the transferees to pay the transferors the fair value of fractional shares so transferred, and the Board is hereby authorized to act as agent for the transferors and transferees with power of substitution for purposes of implementing the provisions of this Article 7.2, without regard to any restriction or limitation that may apply to the transfer of such shares, as may be provided herein.

Except as otherwise provided in these Articles, the Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any share (including any share held in trust, provided that the trustee notifies the Company of the identity of the beneficiary) as the absolute owner thereof, and, accordingly, the Company shall not, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, or as required by Law, be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the part of any other person.
 
10.
Issuance of Shares and other Securities
 
10.1.              Subject to the provisions of these Articles, the Board may determine to issue shares and other securities of the Company, up to the limit of the Company's registered share capital. If the Company's share capital includes a number of classes of shares and securities, shares and securities exceeding the limit of the registered share capital of such class shall not be issued. In such regard, securities convertible or exercisable into shares shall be deemed to have been converted or exercised on the date of their issuance.

The pro-rata share of each such Qualified Shareholder shall be the ratio of the number of outstanding shares of the Company, on a Fully Diluted Basis, held by such Qualified Shareholder as of the date of the Rights Notice (as defined below) to the sum of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company as of such date on a Fully Diluted Basis ("Pro-rata Portion"). A Qualified Shareholder shall be entitled to freely assign this preemptive right and/or any part thereof to one of its Permitted Transferees, provided such assignment does not result in the Company having Shareholders in a number exceeding the maximum number set forth in Article 2.1 above, or in the offering constituting a public offering or a public distribution of the Company’s shares. This preemptive right shall be subject to the following provisions:
 
 
26

 
 
10.5.2.              “New Securities” shall mean all Ordinary Shares issued (or deemed, by the express provisions of Article 5.3.5.6.3 above, to be issued) by the Company other than (1) the following Ordinary Shares and (2) Ordinary Shares deemed issued pursuant to the following Options and Convertible Securities:
 
(a) Exempted Securities (as defined in Article 5.3.5.6.4 above, excluding sub-Article (6) thereof ('exclusion by Preferred Majority'));
 
(b) Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities issued to one or more strategic Investors who are determined as such by the Board, with the consent of at least a majority of the Preferred Directors (or - in case there is an even number of incumbent Preferred Directors – 50% thereof);
 
(c)  Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities issued or issuable, with respect to which the Company receives written notice from the holders of at least 70% of the voting power represented by the then issued and outstanding Preferred Shares, agreeing that such Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities shall not constitute New Securities for purpose of this Article 10.5.
 
10.5.3.              In the event that the Company proposes to issue New Securities, it shall give the Qualified Shareholders written notice ("Rights Notice") of its intention, describing the New Securities, the price, the terms upon which the Company proposes to issue them to the purchasers thereof, and the number of shares that each Qualified Shareholder has the right to purchase under this Article 10.5. Each Qualified Shareholder shall have 15 days from delivery of the Rights Notice to elect to purchase all or any part of its Pro-rata Portion of such New Securities and all or any part of the Pro-rata Portion of any other Qualified Shareholder entitled to such rights to the extent that such other Qualified Shareholder does not elect to purchase its full Pro-rata Portion, in each case, for the price and upon the terms specified in the Rights Notice, by giving written notice to the Company setting forth the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.  If the Qualified Shareholders elect to purchase in the aggregate more than 100% of the New Securities, such New Securities shall be sold to such Qualified Shareholders in accordance with their respective Pro-rata Portions, but not exceeding the number of New Securities indicated in such Qualified Shareholder’s acceptance (and any excess shares, if any, shall be allocated among the Qualified Shareholders who have not received all the New Securities they indicated in the written acceptance notice submitted by them in accordance with the foregoing, in the same manner until the rights to purchase 100% of the total New Securities have been allocated as aforesaid).
 
10.5.4.              If the Qualified Shareholders, or any of them, fail to exercise in full the preemptive right within the period specified in this Article 10.5, the Company shall have ninety (90) days after delivery of the Rights Notice to sell the remaining unsubscribed portion of such New Securities at a price and on terms no more favorable to the purchaser thereof than specified in the Rights Notice. If the Company does not sell the New Securities within the said ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering the same to the Qualified Shareholders in the manner provided in this Article 10.5.
 
11.
Payment in Installments
 
If by the terms of issuance of any share, the whole or any part of the price thereof shall be payable in installments, every such installment shall, when due, be paid to the Company by the then registered holder(s) of the share or the person(s) entitled thereto.

Unless otherwise stipulated in the resolution of the Board (and in the notice referred to in Article 12.2), each payment in response to a call shall be deemed to constitute a pro rata payment on account of all shares in respect of which such call was made.
 
 
27

 
 
12.2.         Notice of any call shall be given in writing to the applicable Shareholder(s) not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the time of payment, specifying the time and place of payment, and designating the person to whom such payment shall be made; provided, however, that before the time for any such payment, the Board may, by notice in writing to such Shareholder(s), revoke such call in whole or in part, extend such time, or alter such designated person and/or place. In the event of a call payable in installments, only one notice thereof need be given.
 
12.3.         If, by the terms of allotment of any share or otherwise, any amount is made payable at any fixed time, every such amount shall be payable at such time as if it were a call duly made by the Board and of which due notice had been given, and all the provisions herein contained with respect to calls shall apply to each such amount.
 
12.4.         The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof and all interest payable thereon.
 
12.5.         Any amount unpaid in respect of a call shall bear interest from the date on which it is payable until actual payment thereof, at such rate (not exceeding the then prevailing debitory rate charged by leading commercial banks in Israel), and at such time(s) as the Board may prescribe.
 
12.6.         A Shareholder shall not be entitled to his rights as shareholder, including dividend, unless he has paid all the amounts detailed in the calls made on him, together with interest and expenses, if any, unless otherwise prescribed by the Board.
 
12.7.         Upon the allotment of shares, the Board may provide for differences among the allottees of such shares as to the amount of calls and/or the times of payment thereof.
 
13.
Prepayment
 
With the approval of the Board, any Shareholder may prepay to the Company any amount not yet payable in respect of his shares. Nothing in this Article 13 shall derogate from the right of the Board to make any call before or after receipt by the Company of any such advance.
 
14.
Forfeiture and Surrender
 
14.1.         If any Shareholder fails to pay any amount payable in respect of a call, or interest thereon as provided herein, on or before the day fixed for payment of the same, all or any of the shares in respect of which such call had been made may be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect at any time thereafter, so long as such amount or interest remains unpaid. Any expense incurred by the Company in attempting to collect any such amount or interest, including, inter alia, attorneys' fees and costs of suit, shall be added to, and shall, for all purposes (including the accrual of interest thereon), constitute a part of the amount payable to the Company in respect of such call.
 
14.2.         Upon the adoption of a resolution of forfeiture, the Board shall cause notice thereof to be given to the Shareholder whose shares are the subject of such forfeiture, which notice shall state that, in the event of the failure to pay the entire amount so payable within a period stipulated in the notice (which period shall not be less than fourteen (14) days and which may be extended by the Board), such shares shall be ipso facto forfeited, provided, however, that, prior to the expiration of such period, the Board may nullify such resolution of forfeiture, but no such nullification shall estop the Board from adopting a further resolution of forfeiture in respect of the non-payment of such amount.
 
 
28

 
 
14.3.         Whenever shares are forfeited as herein provided, all distributions theretofore declared in respect thereof and not actually paid or distributed shall be deemed to have been forfeited at the same time.
 
14.4.         The Company, by resolution of the Board, may accept the voluntary surrender of any share.
 
14.5.         Any share forfeited or surrendered as provided herein shall become the property of the Company, and the same, subject to the provisions of these Articles and any applicable Law, may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of as the Board deems appropriate. Any such share not cancelled shall become a dormant share, shall not confer any rights, and shall not be considered part of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital for purpose of any calculation of a quorum or majority required under these Articles, so long as it is held by the Company.
 
14.6.         Any Shareholder whose shares have been forfeited or surrendered shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited or surrendered shares, but shall, notwithstanding, be liable to pay, and shall forthwith pay, to the Company, all calls, interest and expenses owing upon or in respect of such shares at the time of forfeiture or surrender, together with interest thereon from the time of forfeiture or surrender until actual payment, at the rate prescribed in Article 12.5 above, and the Board, in its discretion, may enforce the payment of such moneys, or any part thereof, but shall not be under any obligation to do so. In the event of such forfeiture or surrender, the Company, by resolution of the Board, may accelerate the date(s) of payment of any or all amounts then owing by the Shareholder in question (but not yet due) in respect of all shares owned by such Shareholder.
 
14.7.         The Board may at any time, before any share so forfeited or surrendered shall have been sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, nullify the forfeiture or surrender on such conditions as it deems appropriate, but no such nullification shall estop the Board from re-exercising its powers of forfeiture pursuant to this Article 14.
 
14.8.         In addition to the provisions of any applicable law, Board members appointed by a Shareholder (or its Permitted Transferee) whose shares are required by the Company to be forfeited under this Article 14 ("Forfeited Shares"), shall be deemed a "director with personal interest" (as specified in Section 278(a) of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999) in respect of the Forfeited Shares ("Interested Director"). An Interested Director shall neither participate nor vote at any meetings, written consents or resolutions of the Board involving the Forfeited Shares, unless provided otherwise by the Companies Law.
 
15.
Lien
 
15.1.         Except to the extent the same may be waived or subordinated in writing, the Company shall have a first and paramount lien upon all the shares registered in the name of each Shareholder which are not fully paid up (without regard to any equitable or other claim or interest in such shares on the part of any other person), and upon the proceeds of the sale thereof, for his debts, liabilities and engagements arising from any cause whatsoever, solely or jointly with another, to or with the Company, whether the period for the payment, fulfillment or discharge thereof shall have actually arrived or not. Such lien shall extend to dividends and other all distributions from time to time declared in respect of such shares.
 
15.2.         The Board may cause the Company to sell any shares subject to such lien when any such debt, liability or engagement has matured, in such manner as the Board may deem appropriate, but no such sale shall be made unless such debt, liability or engagement has not been satisfied within fourteen (14) days after written notice of the Company’s intention to sell shall have been served on such Shareholder, his executors or administrators.
 
15.3.              The net proceeds of any such sale, after payment of the costs thereof, shall be applied in or toward satisfaction of the debts, liabilities or engagements of such Shareholder (whether or not the same have matured), or any specific part of the same (as the Board may determine), and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Shareholder, his executors, administrators or assigns.

16.
Sale after Forfeiture or Surrender or in Enforcement of Lien
 
Upon any sale of shares after forfeiture or surrender or for enforcing a lien, the Board may appoint a person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares so sold and cause the purchaser's name to be entered in the Shareholder Register in respect of such shares, and the purchaser shall not be bound to see to the regularity of the proceedings, or to the application of the purchase money, and after his name has been entered in the Shareholder Register in respect of such shares, the validity of the sale shall not be impeached by any person, and the remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively.
 
17.
Redeemable Shares

Any Transfer shall be conditioned upon an undertaking in writing signed by the transferee to assume and be bound by all obligations of the transferor under any instrument and agreement involving the transferor and the Company and applicable to such transferred shares. The Board may refuse to register a Transfer of shares, inter alia, (a) in the event that such a Transfer is to a competitor of the Company (either directly or indirectly), (b) in the event that such a Transfer would result in the Company having more than fifty (50) shareholders (calculated in accordance with the provisions of Article 2.1 above) or if it constitutes a public offering or public distribution of the Company’s shares, and/or (c) in the event that such a Transfer is in violation of these Articles, and/or if the transferee does not agree, in writing, prior to such Transfer, to assume and be bound by all obligations of the transferor under any instrument and agreement involving the transferor and the Company and applicable to such transferred shares.
 
18.1.2.              Prior to the registration of a Transfer of shares, the Board may require proof of compliance with the provisions of these Articles in respect of such Transfer.
 
18.1.3.              Notwithstanding the above, any Transfer of shares by a shareholder to any of such shareholder's Permitted Transferees (as confirmed in writing to the Company by the transferor and transferee), shall not require the approval of the Board, provided that any such Permitted Transferee undertakes in writing towards the Company and the Shareholders, to the extent applicable, to assume and be bound by all obligations of the transferor under any instrument and agreement involving the transferor (in its capacity as Shareholder) and the Company, and provided, further, that such Permitted Transferee is not a competitor of the Company and that such a Transfer does not result in the Company having more than fifty (50) shareholders (calculated in accordance with the provisions of Article 2.1 above) or that it constitutes a public offering or public distribution of the Company’s shares.
 
18.1.4.              No Transfer of shares shall be registered unless the Company receives a deed of transfer or other proper instrument of transfer (in form and substance satisfactory to the Board), together with the share certificate(s) and such other evidence of title as the Board may reasonably require. Until the transferee has been registered in the Shareholder Register in respect of the shares so transferred, the Company may continue to regard the transferor as the owner thereof. The Board may, from time to time, prescribe a fee for the registration of a Transfer. A deed of transfer shall be in the following form or in any substantially similar form, including any such form as is acceptable to the transfer agent for the Company’s shares, or in any form otherwise approved by the Board.

(i)             vote all shares of the Company then held or controlled by such Shareholders or over which such Shareholders then hold voting power (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable): (A) in favor of or to approve such Proposed Transaction and any matter that could reasonably be expected to facilitate such Proposed Transaction, and (B) against any proposal for any recapitalization, merger, sale of shares or assets or other business combination (other than the Proposed Transaction) between the Company and any person or entity (other than the Buyer) or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the definitive agreement(s) related to such Proposed Transaction, or which could result in any of the conditions to the Company's obligations under such agreement(s) not being fulfilled, or that would otherwise impair the ability of the Company to properly and timely consummate such Proposed Transaction;

The foregoing shall not derogate in any manner from any consents required pursuant to Article 5.3.4 above.
 
 
33
